When I first traded for the Rem. 700 that I gave my oldest son 180 Corelokts is what I fed it,,, but I was hunting deer in "clear cut" thickets and small hollers, that were somewhat brushy, and I used open sights.
My brother got into handloading and loaded me some test rnds, and later we discovered that this particular rifle just dug the heck out of 150 grn B-tips and IMR 4350.... the rest is deer killing history (well known in my family). And I later scoped that rifle to hunt open hollers and pasture land up in northern Missouri, so the 150 Grain B-tips fit the bill nicely.
