RE: 30.06 bullets 150gr vs... 180gr
With a .300RUM you probably have more "killing power" than you need with either bullet weight, well past the ranges that most of us should ethically shoot at.
I would agree with Skeeter that a premium bullet is a bigger factor than just weight. If I had to pick just one bullet/weight for my '06 it would be 165 grain Nosler Partition or 165 grain Swift Scirroco.
