.30-06 150 to 165 - elevation change? Load experience?
I'm getting pretty good accuracy at (6 grns under max. powder) with 150 grn Hornady interlock.
If everything but bullet weight remains constant, what is an approx. sight adjustment @ 100 yrds for a 165 grn interbond?

Bad move?

I'm not looking for anything but a good < 1.5" MOA whitetail load

I know every rifle is different. Could you just give me a hint as to your experience switching from 150 to 165?

The 165 grain bullet will out preform the 150 grain bullet, at 200 to 500 yards the 165 grain will give you between 300 to 500 ft.- lbs more energy. It also will normally give better accuracy! Good Luck
