The 250 grain Hornady and the 200 grain Hornady both shoot extremely well. H4895 is what I use. The loads are a bit over what the manuals mention, but are safe, no sticky bolt, many reloads etc.
I prefer classic.

I have had good results with 4064 and RL15 in my Whelens with 250's. I like the Hornady round nose. I found the old Speer grand slam too tough for deer, it dd not open quick enough. Deadly on elk though.

Had good results with 54.5 gn 8208 XBR and 250 gn Speer or Nosler. Good accuracy with Speer, great with Nosler. Also good with 55 gn 8208 and 250 Hornady RN. All loads just under 2500 fps from 22" bbl.
