      For hunting pigs and deer, choose a soft point such as Federal Power-Shok, Remington Core-Lokt, Winchester Super X Power Point or Sellier & Bellot SP; the 180gr weights suit bigger-bodied game. For range days and military rifle matches, the FMJ loads from Highland and Remington UMC are economical. Older rifles can be sensitive to load, so stick with what groups well in yours.
