    Most should work.
    The 125gn Speer HP value packs come 500 to a pack and they should do it.
    120gn Nosler BT have dropped a variety of things for me

    Otherwise those Hornady SST,

    All depends what's available but I'm thinking light for calibre .30s in the 120-130gn mark will work well around 100m
