Can I use my '06???

im no expert but I have been shooting/ reloading a 30/06 for about 10 years I started with federal american eagle150 fmj and honestly those had greater exit wounds than anything else i have ever shot. The 110 gr. hornady v max I shot for a while, and some times there was no exit wound. I loaded them to 3300 fps @ muzzle. The bullet I stopped shooting ground hogs( all above shooting) was the Nosler trophy bonded ballistic tip 150 it had little or no expansion on g-hogs. The Sierra 110 hp was another that didn't exit all of the time. the Sierra 125 sp exit but wasn't too bad. A hunting partner got a yote with a 150 gr win silver tip and it was only dime sz exit through the boiler room behind both front legs @ 25 yds. Hope this has something you can use.
 
Absolutely, hnter1,

I was just wondering whether it'll totally mess up the hide, to the point where it'll be necessary to do a stitch job on it. A dime size hole does not sound too bad, though that might expand as the hide dries up... thanks for the answer.
