Can anyone honestly and truthfully shoot 150 grains of powder accurately? Seriously/

I have 2 M/l's and neither will think of grouping any bullet with 150(when I say 150, i mean 3-777pellets).

I have seen a lot of studies done, and many guns shot under ultra super slow cameras show a ton of un burned powder coming out behind the bullet. The only ones were consistent were the longer barreled guns.

Literally my guns will shoot a ragged hole at 50 and a 3/4' hole at 100. With 150gr, they spray bullets all over the target
I personally have never seen the need for 150gr. Maybe I am behind technology

I noticed a big increase in recoil with 150gr's, accuracy not bad but not as good as 100 gr's but I have a long bbl on the knight disc. the only reason I might consider using 150 gr's would be to increase energy/velocity for 200 yd shots. never tried shooting this rifle that far, YET.

IL2H, what distance do you zero that load at? I zero at 100 and am not sure how much drop there will be at 200. I use 2 50gr prodex pellets and 250gr barnes expanders or 240 gr tc mag express with xtp's. getting good accuracy with both.

The t/c Omega I didn't notice a difference in accuracy but the Wolf muzz was terrible w/ 150 grains. The Wolf went from 2" groups (with 100 grains) to 5" groups at 80 yds (with 150).
