My loads consist of 48 Grains H4985 CCI 34 primers in either Winchester or Federal brass and with the Horandy or Speer bullet. Which of these bullets would be best to hunt with?

At close ranges, if you keep them in the lungs, even the SSTs will do fine.

If you are worried about penetration at high impact velocities, then use the Interbond slugs .
