[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1683237, member: 2736"] If it were for me, I would have to agree with the 165 for the 30/06. But my understanding of what the OP ask was for a bullet that could be used for both cartridges so the 150 would be my choice for both. When he mentioned his wife would be shooting/hunting that also had a Baring on my recommendation. Heavy bullets lend themselves to longer distances and more recoil. with more time in flight the chances of a poor shot are increased because game can have more time to move and make an otherwise good hit, poor. My preference would be, the 150 for the 308 and the 165 for the 30/06 but that would require two different bullets and the 165 grain might render the 06 unusable or at least undesirable for his wife because of recoil. If he wanted to install a muzzle brake on both then recoil would not be a problem for ether bullet. On average the 3006 produces between 26 and 28 ft/lbs of recoil in a 7.5 pound rifle using 165 grain bullets. This is reduced to 23 to 25 ft/lbs of recoil with the 150.The 308 drops below 19 with the 150. with heavier rifles the recoil is reduced. Of course if a muzzle brake is installed they can be reduced by 1/2. that. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
