Personally, I shoot my 30-06 with my Barnes Triple Shock TSX reloads.

What do you guys shoot?

My favorite bush round as well, however I would like to experiment with barnes monothic as at close range that sst grenades pretty good if it hits something solid. Took a massive buck with 7.62 with my SKS at 5 yards, he was bayonet distance lol.

I have a couple of boxes of Barnes to try but haven't gotten around to it yet. My go to 7.62x39 is a Howa mini action in a chassis. Love that thing

Under 150 yards it's my go to rifle.
