Default Bullets- Which one??

I have just bought a new scope, and I want to get the best bullet possible for my gun. I want the extra fps for my 30-06, so I am looking into buying a few boxes of the Hornady Light Magnums. They travel at 3100 fps (150 grain). I have also looked at the TBBC round (in the Federal Premium line), but because of the style of bullet, it is not good for longer ranges. I am NOT talking about any 450+ yards shots, but I would like to be able to make any shot from 0-350 yards easily. I am only 15, but am, to what I can tell, an excellant marksman. I can put the holes about .6 in from each other every time at 100 yards. I want to get the extra fps, and bullet "configuration", to give me maximum range, but still be able to shoot for the front shoulder at less than 100 yards. I do not want the bullet to "blow up" . I am thinking of getting the Hornady bullet mentioned above, in 30-06, 3100 fps, INTERBOND. I know bonded bullets stay together much better than other types, and I hate ballistic tips, so I will NOT shoot them. The load I shoot now is at 2910 fps, but I want just a little more "getty up". I have just bought a new scope (4-12x50 Nikon Buckmaster) , and want to get the best load possible. Has anyone had experience with the load I mentioned above, or do you recommend using another bullet. (I do not reload yet, but give me another 3 or 4 years and I'll get back to you, so my only options are factory loads)

Thanx ahead of time!!
