Took the pre64 Mod70 I acquired from Yar out again today with a box of 150gr NBT reloads. It hated them. Like 2in hate. The 150 Barnes shot better, but they were erratic better. Nothing consistent. Never went passed 100 because it couldn't have been good.

Had 6 factory Nosler 165gr Sierra GC that I was going to shoot for brass. So after the NBT frustration figured I'd shoot the 165's up and go home.

Now, this trigger needs some work and if it is under 6pounds I would be surprised. But, there was only 1 shot out of 18NBT's I would have blamed on a really bad pull.

Anyway, I think this rifle wants 165's

Anyone else ever experienced such a difference in a pre 64FWT .30-06 between 150's and 165's?
