Just depends on what range you are wanting to shoot and how your gun will group with the different weights. For me though i would try 100gr.

Normally I would start with a partition. Then see what groups best. The type and weight you choose also depends on your range. The accubond seems to have a high BC and retains velocity and ft-pounds well out to 500 yds. Your heavier weight tend to do better in the wind and adverse weather.
