.30-06 Springfield Heavy Hunting Ammunition — 200-Grain Gold Country Razorback, 20 Rounds

Description

When ordinary .30-06 bullet weights are not the answer

Most .30-06 Springfield ammunition stops where the familiar 150-, 165- and 180-grain choices stop. That works until the rifle owner is deliberately looking for a heavier hunting load and finds that the shelf offers little help.

This Gold Country load moves beyond those common weights with a 200-grain .308-diameter Razorback bullet in new Starline brass. It is the lighter of our paired heavy-bullet .30-06 choices: a purposeful step above 180 grains without moving all the way to the 220-grain load.

Available to order: 20 loaded cartridges. Gold Country ammunition is produced in small batches and normally ships within seven business days.

Why choose 200 grains instead of 220?

Choose the 200-grain load when the problem is finding more bullet mass than the conventional .30-06 selection provides, but the heaviest option is not the goal. Choose the related 220-grain Razorback load when maximum bullet mass within this Gold Country pair matters more than staying closer to familiar .30-06 weights.

What the Razorback contributes

The Gold Country Razorback is a jacketed lead-core bullet with a rounded 6S-ogive profile. Its jacket and nose construction are intended to support controlled upset while retaining structure. That is design intent, not a guarantee of expansion, penetration or accuracy. Actual behavior depends on the completed load, impact velocity, target medium, shot conditions and the individual rifle.

Firearm fit

Heavy 200- and 220-grain .30-06 bullets are longer than many lighter bullets and may contact the rifling in rifles with unusually short throats or match-style chambers. Use only in a firearm marked for .30-06 Springfield. Confirm that every cartridge chambers freely, feeds correctly and fits the magazine before use. Establish point of impact in the rifle that will be carried.
