I'd second the 150 or 165 grain Remington Core-Lokt, though you'll certainly get good performance from any of the premium loads.

I got my Mulie with a 180 gr Core-Lokt factory load this year. 180 grainers are too much for the puny California mule deer, but that's what I had the rifle sighted in for... Next year, I'm switching to 165 grainers.

Semper fi,
Bruegger out.
