Default RE: 150 vs. 165 gr. whitetail loads

I'm with the majority. Take your pick. The deer will never notice the difference. The 150 is probably moving slightly faster but the 165 more than likely has a bit heavier jacket for a more controlled expansion on heavier game like bear or elk and you will more than likely get better penetration with the 165 on a quartering shot. Broadside, both should pass through but the 150 will probably open up more causing a larger wound channel.
