I'd say it most resembles the Winchester Power Point. Assuming that's what it is, don't expect fabulous accuracy, but it's a perfectly good bullet to learn on.

I'd buy some IMR4064 powder, as it fills the .30-06 better than some medium powders and isn't too slow for a 150 grain bullet. Standard rifle primers (I like the Federal 210M for precision bolt gun loads or the TulAmmo KVB-762 for gas guns and guns with tubular magazines (though I only use flat nose bullets in tubular magazines)).

If you are interested in load development strategies, I like Dan Newberry's, but you may need a better grade bullet to get to great precision on target. Nonetheless, you can practice working with the ones you have.
