Sierra Pro Hunters or Gamekings...
May not be the most accurate (often are) but always accurate if the rifle can be.

Doesn't matter if it doesn't shoot the bullets for the game you planned on using it for in the first place. Try what you WANT to use first. If that doesn't work, buy the least expensive bullets you know will do the job at hand and see how they shoot. IF that fails...try something else  If that doesn't work its time to sell the pos off.....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

If I was having load troubles, I'd start from scratch getting opinions on powder, bullets, primers, and cases for that chamber. Start over.
If I'm wrong, I'll admit it. If I don't reply further, I'm satisfied with my side of the "debate." ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v39/justgoto/shooting/30_30_400.png) ...nuff said.

Sierra Pro Hunter. If it doesn't shoot them, somethings wrong with the rifle. +1. I have gotten best results in numerous rifles with Sierra ProHunters.

Sierra's are generally what I use for the application you describe.

I'd work up a load with the bullet I intended to hunt with.

All my rifles shoot Barnes TSX bullets pretty nicely. Pricey, but accurate.

If that doesn't work, buy the least expensive bullets you know will do the job at hand and see how they shoot. IF that fails...try something else Good advice. I'm going to add one more thing though. Call it a slightly different approach. I would be inclined to try a different bullet weight before selecting a different brand after a couple of tries. Sound good? It do

A vote for Sierra pro-hunter.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I'd try Sierra Pro-Hunter or Gameking, or Hornady SP or BTSP, they're all affordable, come in lots of 100, and I've had little trouble getting any of these to shoot, a horse a piece really.
