Left to right starting at top:

Nosler 165 gr Accubond, Federal 165 gr TBT, Swift 165 gr A-Frame, Swift 150 gr Sirocco II, Hornady 165 gr GMX, Norma 165 gr Oryx, Norma 150 gr EcoStrike, Lapua 170 gr Naturalis.

Yours looks kind of like mine. I have a 7-08 21". I do not reload so I shot a box of Fusion 140 and Core lokt 140. I did get a couple sub MOA 3 shot groups (I don't do 5, personal preference) but I haven't shot from a bench in a while and think I need to work on my concentration and form. I would guess I was averaging 1.5 MOA. I was also alternating between my Rem LSS mountain rifle in 30-06. My scope is a VX3I 2.5-8X36. I don't think the whole package is 6lbs. Recoil was about equal to my 06 but it's probably 1.5lbs heavier. I did notice my LSS barrel is actually slightly thinner than the FC.
