Get two types of ammo. A softpoint for deer, and a premium bullet for moose. Deer do not need a premium bullet at all, especially from a 3006.
lookin for new remington ammo for next deer/moose season

Remington Corelocks, 30-06 180grain PSPm will work fine on everything in N. America. I have used them on deer, moose and will be soon on bear. Never had a big mess with them and they shoot well from my rifle.
Other rounds are good too I am sure but I like th eprice and they work.

Why do you not like other brands? Remington makes good ammo, but so do Winchester and Federal, amongst others.
Well, federal brass has broke in every gun ive used it in except my shotgun, and the last 2 boxes of winchester i bought. 5 shells out of 2 boxes the brass broke so ill stick with remington. but i might consider nosler idk

Sounds like a gun problem more then a ammo issue. In hunting ammo, I shoot 90% Winchester, and have never, ever, had an issue with brass breaking.
Perhaps a gunsmith should take a look at your gun?
The winchesters and federal, broke off in a 742 i had awhile ago. winchesters it only happened once, but the federals are just about everytime, the federals break in my uncles gun, and my cousins gun as well so idk maybe our guns are ruff on them, bu the federals break in my .22 too, so i have no idea what to think about it, but my uncle and cousin both use winchesters with no problems.
I've got at least 150 guns in my collection and they're all shooters. I've never had a single piece of Federal, Winchester of Remington brass break or lose their rim and I do a fair bit of shooting.
As for bullet selection. The Remington Core-Lockt will handle almost any hunting situation in N. America. If you want a premium bullet. Go with the bullet that started it all. The Nosler Partition.
