I've had my new-to-me 116 30-06 to the range a few times and have found that it likes 150 gr loads much better than 180's. Particularly, Remington Core-lokt 150 and Hornady American Whitetail 150.

My question is for anyone who has taken deer with both of these, did you notice one performed better than the other?

I will be hunting whitetails here in MO. 90% of my shots will be within 100 yards.

Thanks
