Josh,

For accuracy and consistancy try the standard military match load. A 168gr. HPBT Sierra MatchKing bullet moving @ 2600 fps. There are many ammunition manufacturers, eg. Federal, Winchester, Black Hills etc. that make this ammo in a match/premium configuration.

Sincerely,

Brad A. Best

Josh.

What do you want to do?

Hunt or target?

Target you can try 155's, 168's and 175's.

Hunting it depends on the type of game.
