180gr Sierra Gameking on top of 54.3gr IMR 4350. 180gr pills are all my Remmy 742 will shoot.

I used to shoot Remington 165 grain PSP for the past 3 years, but this year I switched to Federal 180 grain. And I love it! I just sighted my 30-06 today, it only took 10 shots to put them in the center hole.

I have shot hornady and fusion but I get the most accuracy out of remington 180 grain psp coreloct. I know it is cheap ammo but it works. The reason for 180 grain is I shoot elk and mule deer.

150 grain Winchester Ballistic silvertips. They are very accurate and I have never had a deer that didnt drop at the shot, just an awesome bullet.

150 Grain Silvertips.. I shoot them in all of my rifles and havent lost a deer yet. Shoulder shots drop them like a rock but if you get behind the shoulder they dont run out of sight.

I have tried several brands, all 150 grains.. Hornaday Ballistic Tips, Remington Core Lokts, Fusions, Fedeal Power Shocks. All do ok, But I get the best results using the core lokts or Fusions.. I think I am gona try some regular Honaday rounds next time.
