I use Barnes tipped triple shocks.
 
They are pricy but how many bullets are needed to kill game animals like deer, elk and whatever.
 
My .30-06 combo is 168 gr Barnes tipped 3x with 58 gr H4350. I use the same load with 168 gr Hornady hpbt bullets and they group very closely and cost less then half as much. The Barnes bullets are seated deeper. Groups fired at 400 yds between the 2 need minor adjustments.
 
I load a 50 round box 20 Barnes & 30 Hornady's.
 
I have 2 short mags but see very little practical difference between them and the 06 except the long all copper 168 gr. Barnes bullets need to be seated very deep in the short mags to allow for a 2.8 COL.
