For plinker bullets in the .30 cals I have had best accuracy with the 150-gr. 
Remington RNCL .30-30 bullets.  These are quite accurate when down-loaded 
even to the lowest velocity which reliably exists the barrel, about 8 grs. of 
W231 in the M40A1 in 7.62 NATO with a "can," or 9 grs. in the .30-'06 Model 
70 target.  Use magnum  large rifle primers, no filler and securely crimp the 
bullet in the cannellure.
The short, light 100-110 gr. bullets shoot poorly because they have such a 
short bearing surface that the bullet base exits the case neck before the 
forepart starts to engrave.  That causes the base to upset nonuniformly and 
out of square because the bullet gets cock-eyed in its unguided motion.  A
150-gr. blunt nosed bullet has several advantages, first having a longer
bearing surface for alignment, and also having a more lower overturning 
moment so that it is well stabilized even at lower rotational velocities in 
light loads.
