I use Nosler 168 gr BTHP for target loads, will be moving up to the 175's as soon as I use up the remaining 300 or so 168's.

For hunting I use Hornady 165 gr soft point boat tails for "close work" which is 200 or under. I have some 168 gr ballistic tips on the bench for "long range" hunting if I ever get a chance for an antelope hunt or other American plains hunting.
