All,
I'm about to sight in my 06. (rem 760 Gamemaster). I will be using it for Deer/Bear/Cougar.
What grain should I go with? 180 or 168? Which might be more accurate?

Check out
this
thread if you haven't already.
I'd go w/ 180's if limitted to Silvertips. No way to tell which might be more accurate until you try both in your rifle.
