I use a 30.06 for moose and mule deer.I have heard that one " small exit wound" before.I think some Partions flip and exit ass-end first. This is a bad thing,two valleys in the Kootney bad.Rather I would look to two different bullets for deer and moose.The plastic tipped, bonded bullets will have a much more reliable expansion for moose,you don't want him to get to the pond. For deer, I use SSTs,cheap and very accurate,but most any conventional bullet will work well from a 30.06.Both are 180s,but 165s are likely as good.

My three 30.06 for my sons and mine are: 61.3/N-560 ,barely warm enough for that powder;57.0/IMR-4350,too hot,only used for hunting; and 55.8/H-4350.They all run in the mid to high 2700s
