I tried some of these bullets in my Howa Lightning 1500 hoping to use them for deer and coyote hunting in place of my usual 150 grainers. They group extremely well @100 yards and I am very happy....until I put 5 rounds of 150 grainers through the rifle. Ckecking the target shows all complete misses. ???? I finally see a little knick at the very top of the target. I adjust my scope accordingly and am back to shooting 10s. Since I don't want to have my rifle dedicated to only shooting 125 grain bullets i guess I'll stay with 150/165 grains for hunting. Is this typical of lighter weight 30 caliber bullets? My rifle scoped with a Nikon Buckmaster 3x9x40 groups the 125s extremely well but also does with the 150s just at a much higher point of impact than the 125s.
