Default Ammo suggestions for new 45-70 Govt.

Due to the change in the laws here in Ohio I can now hunt with my new toy, a Marlin 1895 in 45-70 Govt. Looking for amo suggestions for whitetail deer. I hunt on a farm with primarily open fields. Shots could be anywhere from 25 yards to 200 yards. Looking for something that I can zero at 130 to 150 yards and not have to worry about adjustments out to 200 or so. Also something with a bullet that will perform well on medium sized game. I have been using a T/C Encore .50 cal. muzzle loader and just would like to have the extra follow up shots just in case. Thanks for any suggestions.
