Ditto Peter's experience with the 147 grain Winchesters. My dad bought some bulk and wound up giving them away. My Garand (accurized) has shot any number of sub-m.o.a. 10 shot strings of prone slow at 100 yards with 168 grain Sierra MK's. It does almost as well with the 150 gr MK's. With the 147 grain Winchesters it won't stay in 5 inches reliably. This means even plinking at stones 25 yards away would not be possible to do reliably with this combination. Find some other cheap bulk bullet, then try a small box first.
