[QUOTE="Stammster, post: 2202349, member: 114381"] 52 gr IMR4064 is your huckleberry for 150s. I wouldn’t drive a 150 SST at 3000 MV if you will possibly shoot less than 100 yds. Personally I’ve moved from 150 gr to 165/168 gr over 57ish gr H4350 around 2850-2900 fps. BC is also better, but at < 250 yds irrelevant. For elk, I’ve worked up a 180gr Partition loads at 2900 fps+ with RL26. Most whitetail won’t know the difference between 150 and 165 gr, but the 165s seem to be the sweet spot for 30-06. Hornady makes flat base and boat tail 165 Interlocks, as well as the SST. Keep the impact velocity around 2400-2700 fps and you’ll make a nice mushroom. All shoot well. The 168 Nosler BT is good shooting stout bullet, and it seems to shoot better than the 165 NBT. Sierra 165 HPBT Gameking is a deer killing machine. I couldn’t get the new tipped Gamekings to shoot well. Above based on loading and shooting 5-6 deer per year, and 20+ hogs with one of the following: 2X Kimber Classic and Classic Select 30-06 1X Remington 760 30-06 4X Winchester M70 pre-64 in STD and FWT Nothing wrong with a 270 either for killing whitetail.
