I'm in the middle of finding which my newly acquired early 80's 94 AE likes the best. So far it has been a toss up between the 150 gr Remington, and the 170 gr. Winchester for accuracy. I have only fired a few rounds so far. Maybe 6 of each, and at only 50 yards. Both being inside minute of deer accuracy. The Remington standing with no rest. The Winchester held a tighter group, but was shot from a rest. Next week I hope to get a little more extensive testing done.
If I decide to use the old Thudy-Thudy, I'm leaning toward the 170 grain for a little more punch.
