I like most 300gr bullets better. Just a preference really. This year though i will be trying either a 45-225gr Barnes, 275gr Parker or a 275gr Lehigh. When i had my older 54cal i shot mostly 275gr Barnes so i want to try the middle weight again and a light weight shot faster.

There are a few 250-260gr bullets that should fly pretty good and retain a bit more fps at 200 yards but how often are you going to be shooting 200 yards. Harvester has a descent 260gr "pointy" bullet, the Bonded 250gr Shockwave seems ok and Nosler still has a few 260s left that have a bit better BC and hit like a freight train.

For ground hogs you should try the 225gr FTX. Its a freakin grenade and seems to shoot really well and its cheap.
