[Tallest]

Ok...

Given what I'm reading, I'll probably talk him into 150s or 160s.

I had discussed trying a variety of bullets, but part of the long, detailed story is that this is someone of a tribute project. His uncle taught him to shoot and hunt, and it was his uncle who bequeathed the rifle to him before he died. Uncle always swore by partitions, so he wants to keep this true to what his uncle would have shot.

I think if I get an accurate load, he's not going to care too much either way what the bullet weight is.

And as far as the rifle goes, with 150 grain core-lokts it will shoot slightly over 1" groups at 100 yards, and it will shoot right around 3/4" with 154 grain SSTs. So I feel confident the rifle is capable of reasonable accuracy.
