30-06 Sprg – 180 gr Barnes TSX – Black Hills (1C3006BHGN1) – 100 Rounds

Pairing a 180 grain all-copper bullet with the 30-06 makes one of the most versatile big game loads available. This listing is Black Hills Gold 30-06 Springfield 180 grain Barnes TSX ammo, MPN 1C3006BHGN1, sold as a 100 round case for hunters who want premium, lead-free performance for elk, moose, and large deer. It is also a fit for hunters in areas that require lead-free bullets.

Black Hills rates this load at 2,600 fps with 2,702 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Barnes TSX is a solid copper hollow point that opens into petals while keeping nearly all of its weight, so it penetrates deeply through heavy bone and muscle. Grooves cut into the shank reduce fouling and pressure. At 180 grains it is the classic 30-06 weight for elk and larger game. This is a hunting load, not a target round.

It fits rifles chambered in 30-06 Springfield, such as the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70, Ruger Hawkeye and American, Savage 110, Browning X-Bolt and BAR, Tikka T3x, Weatherby Vanguard, and Bergara B-14. A common question is whether all-copper bullets shoot to the same point of impact as lead-core bullets. Not always, so confirm zero with this load before you hunt. Another common question is whether this ammo is legal in lead-free zones. TSX bullets are lead-free, which meets requirements in many areas, but always verify current local regulations.

Black Hills Gold 1C3006BHGN1 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by Black Hills in Rapid City, South Dakota. Cases are reloadable brass with boxer primers, and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 5 boxes of 20 rounds, 100 total, from one lot, which covers zeroing, field practice, and several seasons of hunting with the same ammunition. Copper bullets can leave copper fouling, so clean the bore before checking zero for the season. Keep the remaining boxes together so your follow-up season uses the same lot.
