I’ve gotten best accuracy with 180 grain flat base bullets. First with CL’s, later Interlocks - H4895 & H4831 & H4831sc powders, oh yes MR3100 too
I have 13 each 30-06’s. Well now it’s down to a dozen since I sold my early 700. The 03A3’s definitely prefer the 180 grain bullets. I’ve shot Springfields since 60 years ago. Not as much lately.
The 700’s shoot multiple bullets better than the Springfields with other than 180 grain bullets. But I’ve shot many - less than 1/2” and sometimes 1/4” or better groups with those Springfields and 180 grain bullets.
My M1’s I’ve mainly shot 150 grain and H4895 bullets. Mostly at steel silhouette, but also 500 yard and 500 meter paper.
