Looking for suggestions. I have always shot Core Lokts out of my other guns. Just curious what others are using. It will be for woods hunting.
 
i shot Hornady 139SST this year with good results. Would group at 1" and so far every animal I've shot with them has rolled over dead.

i really want to try the Barnes 120 grain though but i can't find them around me as well as accubonds.
 
Before I started reloading I used 140 grain Winchester ballistic silvertips. Very accurate and we were 100% with no lost deer and only a couple required follow-up shots (entirely due to shot placement).
Reloading I'm using 140 grain Nosler ballistic tips over 39.5 grains of Varget with a little more accuracy and similar kill results.
