What is the difference between 150 grain and 165 grain?
The 165gr has a little more weight, thus loses a touch in FPS out of the muzzle (150gr = 2910FSP, 165gr = 2800FPS). Out to 250yrds (assuming a 150yrd ZERO), Remington’s ballistics comparison charts show the 150gr drops 5.9″ and the 165gr drops 6.3″ because the heavier 165gr has slightly less velocity.
