Federal does two loads in the blue boxes, one is high shock and the other is Low Recoil, I would imagine that is the low recoil load he is talking about. Either that or a .30/30?


Really, the bullet type and grain are the most important, as well as your budget. If you are just a casual deer shooter who just wants minute of deer accuracy at 100 yards, just about anything in the 150 or 165 class will do the job. you don't need a bonded bullet, or a ballistic tip, although both will do the job.

The Core-lokts would be fine for you. Those or the Win Power points, or some Sierra Game Kings from Federal. Whatever, suits your taste and budget. Just shoot a few 3 shot groups to make sure you rifle can put them inside of 2" and you will be fine or anything out to 150 yards or so.
