I agree and I have used Nosler Pts. for 40 years with total satisfaction.

Since the initial poster is not a handloader and is using factory ammo, the best choice and one I have used while packing an '06 on fire lookouts for possible Grizzly problems, is the Federal ammo loaded with 180 NPs.

If, he takes up handloading, I tend to prefer loading a 220 NP-SS over H-4831SC or RE-22, about 54 grs, (check this with your manual) in WW brass and a mag. primer. I also have 200NPs over RE-22-58 grs. for my 1961 vintage Browning Safari in .30-06, currently being restocked with a customized Boyd's laminate as is one of my 9.3x62s. I would use up to 56 grs. RE-22 with the 220NP, but, only 54 grs. with H-4831 and build these loads VERY carefully, they have worked VERY well in several .30-06 rifles for me.

This is for Grizzly defence, I think a 180 NP is just perfect for all other hunting.
