My MKII likes both the Barness 180g MRX and 168g TTSX. Haven't tried anything lighter.

I hunt elk mostly and use those loads for deer, too. The 180's will end-to-end a mulie. In your situation I'd shoot whatever shoots best, 130g to 180g TTSX.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
