.30-06 (180gr or 168gr)
« on: February 03, 2009, 12:03:57 PM »
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?

Going with Winchester Supreme Balistic Silver tip's

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.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.
