The best weight I have found is 68-69 gr BTHP. Seems to work well with any powder. But I have also found e excellent loads with 55 and 62 gr FMJ. You will find the most styles and quantity and best prices in the 50-55 gr range so that would be a good place to start. If you can find find Nosler 69 gr HPBT then try those or the ones by Sierra or Hornady. But 55 HP, SP, or FMJ should shoot well, too.
