I like the 165 Sierra SPBT for hunting, for all my rifles my hunting loads will cloverleaf @200yds from prone position. Its' about 2550, slower that commercial loads but I prefer accuracy not velocity.

For bigger game may load up some 180's.

Also I use the 168 for Hi-power match (200-600yds) so I somewhat duplicate ballistics.
