[QUOTE="MUP, post: 4543668, member: 4380"] I've been shooting the 150 NAB's from my 06 as well. Sub MOA at 100 yds(.75" 3 shot groups, .900" 5 shot), but I have yet to shoot a deer with them. I have however used 150 gr corlokt's for years prior to handloading, and they have never failed to drop what I've shot, as long as I do my part. Nothing wrong with using 180's, but the same goes for the 150's I suppose. :) I shot a buck with a 180 gr corlokt from my Dad's Model 742 Woodsmaster 30-06 one time, perfect heart shot, and he ran straight up a steep ridge about 100 yds or so, before realizing he was dead. I've also shot one of my biggest bucks with the 150 corlokt and he dropped straight down. Shot placement is the key, and each of those gr bullets, along with the intermediate 165 gr will fill the bill I do believe. Heavier bullets for bigger game of course if that's what you're going for, as DaveB alluded to. [/QUOTE]
