A 165-grain boat tail hollow point headlines Sig Sauer’s Marksman Hunter .30-06 Springfield load (brand part no. E3006GK165-20), pairing match-grade ballistics with hunting-ready expansion. Sig Sauer designed the Marksman Hunter line to bridge that gap, giving big-game hunters a bullet that flies flat at distance and still opens up reliably on impact. The boat tail base trims drag in flight, holding velocity and energy longer than a flat-base bullet of the same weight, while the exposed hollow point tip initiates expansion the moment it meets game. Whether the shot comes across a cut cornfield or through timber, this .30-06 load is built to put deer and similarly sized game down cleanly.

Key Specifications
