My M1As love the 150 grain Winchester black bullets and the 168 Federals. My last 4 point dropped in his tracks 175 yards away and the next day my doe only went 25 yards with a solid lung shot at 50 yards. No moving bush shots tho.

KenL has it right in my opinion...
Get an assortment of 150 grainers and see what your rifle likes. Makes a difference.
