[What type of .30-06 ammunition to use for deer hunting?]

Let me know where you are getting them for $20 a box so I can buy some! I just spent $100 on three boxes of Hornady custom SST for my 25-06.

I guess I didn't look hard enough, here ya go almost there. 22.80 a box and I have purchased from them before so they are safe. I would order up!

Cheapest I could find is 26.95, they really bend you over on that caliber eh? Might want to think about reloading at that price and regardless, save your brass in case you change your mind.

[Deer get up hindquarters first... others?]

I have noted that horses and dogs rise up from resting using their front legs first but deer use their hindquarters first. I believe cattle may also.

What other animals use their hindquarters first?

Humans

[Anybody hunt with Vortex scopes?]

But if you were to buy a comparable scope in a Leupold, etc, youd pay alot more.

You said a mouthful. There is no comparable scope at that price range. Relatively speaking a PST is a very reasonably priced scope for what you get. I also have a 2 x 7 as mentioned and it is another great scope. They are definately worth the money, I just meant that I am no millionaire so 600 bucks hurts a little so the only thing that would have made the scope better is that it was free!!!!

[Non Lead Ammunition]

Yeah...I have heard nothing but good about the Triple Shocks. Just never tried them

This is a 7.62 x 39 in TSX quartering away. You can see the vitals, also hit front away shoulder and disintegrated it. Nasty for a 7.62 round....

[Anybody hunt with Vortex scopes?]

I used a Vortex PST 2.5-10 on my 30.06 and it is the cat's meow. Illuminated retical, clear glass couidn't be happier except it's 600 bucks...

[What type of .30-06 ammunition to use for deer hunting?]

Last year,I shot a 180 pound buck with Hornady 165 graid SST at a full trot and he moved exactly 18 inches, straight down. Two days later I shot a 150 pound doe, through a 6 inch tree at dusk which went through the tree, ten feet further and then through the deer double lung and heart out the other side. She ran 75 yards. At twenty dollars or less a box I don't think I need to find another bullet.

Barnes Triple Shocks are copper bullets and are devistating...
