It used to be the 165 Hornady BTSP but I finally gave up on them. They seemed to result in more bloodshot meat than other loads.

Thes days I use 180's in my '06's. C/L, I/L or Partitions for most things any more.

In .308 Normas I use 180 I/L loaded to match velocity with Norma factory loads per my cheap Chrony.

In my M-88 I use 150's-C/L or I/L.
