No there really isn't any problem with a 150 in the 06.
I prefer 165's in both the 06 and 308, altho there is a lot to be said for a 180 out of a 308 when hunting timber. Makes a person get a better understanding why the 30-40 Krag had such a following back in the day.


the most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to.
