If your looking for hunting ammo, try the Sierra 165 grain SPBT over 46 - 47 grains of IMR-4350 for deer size critters. If you're looking for less velocity but excellent accuracy, try IMR4895 with the 150 grain Sierra.

Bruce,

I am glad you mentioned IMR-4895. I have used it in the past with reasonable success in other bolt action 30-06's, especially with a custom Springfield 03 model. But this particular Remington 700 "rebells" with 4895 and the Sierra 150 gr. bullet for some reason. I get a 4-5" group.
