Federal Power-Shok 80gr Speer Hot-Cor. I have used these in three very different rifles and they all like them.

I have killed deer from 20 feet to well over 100 yards with this load with excellent results. The bullet holds up to extreme impact velocity at close range and retains plenty of velocity and energy to make kills well out there.

I haven’t been able to test it out much past 125 yards yet but when they drop on the spot with complete pass through I have no doubt that they will perform to well past that mark.
