The Federal Fusions are excellent, as Mac hopefully will soon chime in to show his impressive group with them.
I have a 30-06UltraComp, and have found the Winchester Super-X SilverTips also shoot really good in mine. The 180gr's shot great at under an inch, and I am going to be trying the 150's soon. Core Loks didn't really impress me, about 1 3/4" groups consistantly at 120 yards=my range. I have some Federal Vital Shok 150gr's and some of the SilerTips in 150 also yet to play with.
Good shooting to ya, and enjoy the -06, it's a great cartridge indeed.

The Federal Fusion 150 grain load is tops in my book..it preformed better than expected...for a 5 shot group at 100 yards...here ya go Arron..



I haven't found much of Hornady's offerings of  factory fodder very accurate in my Handi's..now..load up some SST's and it might be another ball game..but with accuracy like this ...it's kinda hard to even try to load for it..
