If you are a handloader try using bullets weighing less than 250gr. or cast bullets or for that matter I shoot .357 pistol bullets. Though for game I would go with a Hornady XTP bullet, they're designed to expand reliably over a range of velocities. Bullets from 180,200-225gr. weights produce less recoil than 250gr. and are adequate for all but the largest game. 225gr. Sierra and Noslers have worked well for me though I have only taken whitetails with them though I would not hesitate to use them on elk or moose.
