If I had to snivel most of my 30-06 rifles shot better with 165 to 180 grain bullets than the 150's. Not horribly better but my two current 30-06 rifles are easy under an inch rifles with 165 and 180 grain bullets but with the 150's they hover around just over an inch to 1 1/4 inches for three shots. The Weatherby Vanguard does it with 5 shots. With both rifles and 165 gr, Ballistic Tips and Sierra BTHP's powered By IMR 4350 they are awesome shooters. I guess I could suffer along with 1 1/4 inch groups and 150 gr. Partitions if I have to. As for factory ammo I have recovered more 150 gr. Corelokts than any other bullet but every bullet was recovered from a dead deer. Too bad that Remington stopped selling the Corelokts at the bulk prices.
