For field use I find the old standby, hard cast 158gr LSW with gas check, with a good charge of 2400, to be the way to go.

For interpersonal use a good 125 to 140 gr. JHP factory load will do fine. Federal, Remington, Winchester, CCI, and others make real good loads.

Find the one that shoots dead on and you can control and that is that.

Rather have 50 fps less velocity and the gun shoots like a dream than something hotter that is not so easy or accurate.
