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,

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.
