I love em , love the performance on a deer , but my Finnlight don't shoot them as well as I'd like . With 150 and 165 factory Hornadys it's one ragged hole. My son's Tikka will stack the 130 TTSX , as a matter of fact , it will stack any type and weight bullet we've ever sent down the pipe. I use them in my howa & they shoot pretty well. Sub-moa…. There’s a few heavier bullets that are slightly more accurate, but not enough to notice in a hunting situation. Those 130g TTSX hit like Thor’s hammer, plus I’m zeroed at about 250yds, this puts me 3” high at 100 & 2” low at 300. Just point and shoot.

I shoot the most unpopular, unreliable, least reputable 150 gr available. REM Core-lokt. Have never lost a deer with them.

Good luck finding them, but federal premium 165 sierra gamekings Can’t beat these in my opinion and I’ve killed out to 600yds with them

Depends on the twist and barrel length. My 18 inch model 600 loves 150gr hornady ammo. My bergara loves 168 barnes ttsx my model 700 loves 165gr winchester

If posting pictures wasn't so aggravating I would post the results but I tried several different brands.
.308 Bergara Carbon Wilderness from best to worst
Hornady SST 150
Barnes TSX 150
Federal Blue Box 150
Sierra Gamechanger 165 (not great)
Winchester Silvertips 150 (awful)
Probably won't try anymore unless I have issues with deer killing but I don't see that being an issue. The SST shoots pretty damn good, I could cover all 3 shots with a quarter. Maybe try a different bullet weight and see what happens you really only shot 150's. Gun may not like 150's. What is wrong with the SST? Seems like you are good-to-go in my book.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

Nothing at all, it shot as close as I could ask for.
