You should see the groups I'm getting with the 180 in my 30.06 and H4350.
It may just be the ticket in 2 weeks when I leave for my bear hunt.
Great pics. Wish I could have had that result a few years ago with the 140 AB from my 270 on a mulie buck at only 45 yards.

ReloaderYeah, I tell ya, these NABs are great shooting bullets for sure. My 06 is shooting some fantastic groups with the 150s over 49grns of H4895. I'll try and wack a couple whitetails with that set up this fall and see what she'll do. Matter of fact, I've loaded NABs for over a dozen rifles in the past year and none of them failed to shoot well with 'em. Game performance has been awesome from pigs to bull elk. Good Luck on the bears.
Have a Good One
