[QUOTE="BigTravOz, post: 2138290, member: 117940"] I love the Speer 165 grain boat tails in 308 and 30-06, they will work down to about 1800 fps (around 700 yards at 30-06 velocity) and don’t fail at the close ranges at up to 2900 fps. As for flavour of the month, probably not but that’s probably cause you can’t buy them in 6.5 needmoor. I have put them through the same hole at 100 yards (literally the same hole with no obturation of the hole in the paper) and that’s more than enough accuracy for any deer or hog in proper hunting ranges. Have shot targets out to 800 with them from my homemade 30-06 and put ruger precision rifles to shame. They are a very underestimated bullet. [/QUOTE]
