I don't have reload equipment, maybe someday I will.
I have a Rem 700 30.06. I've read on multiple sites the 200gr Nosler Partition is the best for large animals like elk, moose, and bear. When I looked to buy some boxes, no one sells it or it's out of stock. Is there something equal or better than the 200gr Nosler Partitions, or know of a website that sells them? Based on some research, it looks like they are sold for about $2/round. |

You don't need that heavy of a bullet for elk, moose, and bear in an 30/06.
Any premium 165-180 gr bullet that's built for penetration will work if properly placed. |

180 Remington RNSP is popular around here for bigger animals. It's not a sexy or cutting edge bullet but it works like a motherfucker.

I'd go with the 180 Partition. You can still get respectable velocities with it and it's everything you need for deer, elk, and moose.

Nothing at all wrong with 180 gr Partitions on elk.

Poor weight retention. If you can find any factory stuff with accubonds I say go fot it. 165 to 180 grain pills should do the trick. |

My moose on the wall begs to differ with your assertion. I used a 200 gr accubond in my 300 win mag and it dropped him nicely. It shot better than sierra match kings too! If you can find any factory stuff with accubonds I say go fot it. 165 to 180 grain pills should do the trick. |

Would you consider some Factory Seconds from Nosler ?
If so they have some 180gr Accubonds for about $32 / 20 rds. http://www.shootersproshop.com/nosler-products/nosler-trophy-grade-ammunition-30-06-springfield-180-grain-accubond-blem-20ct.html |

Bullet weight does not equal magic. 165-180 grain partition or solid copper expanding type (TSX) should work fine. No different than the guy shooting 300wm @ a longer range at the same animal.

Some rifles don't shoot them well |

Also worth mentioning: Swift A-frame - very similar construction to a Partition.
Any of the bonded core bullets: Speer Trophy Bonded Bearclaw Speer Grand Slam Hornady Interbond |

And bonded bullets are a different kind of bullet. Not giving judgement on what is best. |
