I am looking for opinions on the 240gr pp sn bullet from woodleigh loaded hot in a 30-06 say 56gr of rl-22 to take Alaskan brown bear or African cape buffalo. this load would yield 3600ftlb of muzzle energy. I have heared of someone who loaded a 240gr smk like this.
 
Re: 240gr pp sn 30cal woodleigh

So you would need to achieve 2600 fps to reach that level with a 30-06. Good luck with that.

If you want to chase cheap energy why not use a shotgun?

12 Gauge, 3 - 1/2" Lightfield Mag
Ballistics Information:
# Muzzle Velocity: 1890 fps
# Muzzle Energy: 4759 ft. lbs.

If you can afford to go on a non-resident Grizz hunt or Cape Buffalo hunt you can afford the proper equipment.
