I've been loading them in my .243 for years and have taken loads of deer with that little rifle. Loaded the 165 grfor all my 30.06's and they've been very accurate, as well as my 300 Wby. The only rifle I haven't been able to find the 'sweet spot' for is my M1A in .308. That particular rifle just doesn't seem to care for this bullet. We'll see, I'll keep trying because the bullet performs so good.
