John,

I am interested to know how 180 grain Winchester Powerpoints perform on elk and moose sized game? I assume they would be an excellent bullet for deer sized game.

I was at the range working up a load for my new 30-06 and decided to try shooting some of the cheap Winchester 180 grain Powerpoint loads that I had purchased at Wal-Mart. I bought them to use as fouling loads, so I didn't have to waste expensive bullets fouling a newly cleaned barrel.

Much to my embarrassment, the first group with the PP's shot into .350". The next two groups were less than .500".

I sure am glad I spent all of that time checking the runout on my handloads. They grouped into .900". grin

Thanks,
Chet
