I love the Federal 165grain Sierra Game Kings. I had good luck with the 150 grain Ballistic Tips as well. A Remington Core Lokt bullet is quite effective as well. Actually any of the soft point bullets in 150 to 165 grain should be just fine. Just make sure you are not shooting bullets that are designed to shoot thick skinned heavy boned game. These bullets will pass through a deer and do very little damage. The deer will run a long long way and you may not ever recover it. Try different bullets in your gun and see which bullet your rifle shoots the most accurate. Go with that one. Good luck.
