I am working on loads in a Remington 700 and the load showing the most promise with the 168gr Matrix RBBT's I am using is RL15. I actually through these together "just cause" and glad I did. They are averaging .741" so far. I have used 50-51gr in increments, and 51gr is by far the most consistant in accuracy.
I am short a chrony at the moment and wondering what the velocity would be, anyone have a clue?
I have stuck to RL15 and RL19 in most of my 30-06 loading previously, and they are performing dismally with this bullet.
 
I could not find any data for the 168gr Matrix RBBT's but here is some data for other 168gr loads.
