Nice group. My 06 seamed to like 4350 powders the best with 165 gr boat tails. Every gun will be different and takes awhile to dial them in. I got mine to dial in for groups and could shoot 300 yd groups under 3 inches and for a stock hunting rifle that was great. (it did harvest a moose and elk too)

<3" groups at 300 yds is pretty cool. I'd love to get to a point of being able to do that on a pretty regular basis. My current range only has a max possible distance of 100 yds. One of these days I'd like to try my hand at shooting some longer distances. I just need to find a place to do it... and a lot of practice before that.

Congrats on the moose and the elk. In my mind, being able to put meat in the freezer is where the rubber really meets the road when it comes to accuracy with a rifle.

I lucked out with my 06 it was a Weatherby Vanguard, early model, and would shoot any bullet weight from 110 to 220's. Never seen an 06 do that. The 165 BT was the best for accuracy although the 110 hollow points harvested many prairie dogs at up to 300 yds with a very loud "Whomp".
