Winchester Balistic Silvertips. They cost more but are alot more accurate out of my rifles.

Most rifles like one particular load or another. From my experiences with factory fodder either Federal Premium or Hornady Custom are my first choice. I've put alot of different factory loads thru my chrony and variance in velocity was only 24 fps max differential with the Federal and Hornady with Remington and Winchester all over the place with a variance as much as 120 fps.

I'm with Ruddyduck. Federal Premium and Hornady usually give the best accuracy in my rifles. Normally I'll grab a box of Federal Premium before anything else for my accuracy testing.

Thanks for all the replies. I was thinking about the Federals so I will probably try a box of them. Should I stay at 150gr or step down to 140gr?

wolves ,it depends on what you are going to hunt. You can go with a nosler partition or a trophy bonded bear claw and be good to go on just about anything in the lower 48 with either of those two bullets.
See what shots best out of your rifle. If elk or moose etc aren't on you ticket you could go with just the psp.
