Default Many guys prefer 165 gr

I'm very sure that 150 is plenty as so many others have pointed out. Many 06 users ( my father and my son are two I know ) prefer 165 grain. It was always my understanding that many folks believe the 165 provides the best performance from a 3006. Dad used Hornady or Speer cup and core handloads with either IMR 4350 or 4831 for everything moose, elk, deer and antelope.

Once you have a rifle driving tacks why change bullets. Find a load that you and the rifle like and use it for everything is my opinion.
