For 150gr and 165gr bullets, I gotta give credit to Remington and their PSP bullets. They are lasers and go right where you point. I use their 165's for my plinking bullets and I love them.

I find their 180's to be inaccurate in comparison to Speer's Hot-Core line. But my platform is a .308 M1A with an 18" barrel, which isn't ideal for 180gr bullets in the first place. I was pushing them soft to be easy on the gas system and who's to say the Remington 180's wouldn't do better at higher pressure from a bolt gun?

Then again, maybe the Speers would do even better.

Were I to buy a 300-somethingmag, I would start with the Remington 180's, the Speer Hot-Core 180's an maybe Hornady's comparable offering and go from there.
