    Give the Hornady 150 SST a try, think they'll solve your problem.

    As others have said, almost anything will work as long as its not designed for elk or buffalo or bears.
    Me, 35 years shooting Sika with 125's - 130 gn projos. Cheaper and flatter shooting out to my max of 300 for those light weight bullets.

    I’ve using 125gn ProHunters for years on Sika they are the bees knees
    Used them on anything to be fair from Thar to Fallow

    Its pretty hard to go past a Sierra Prohunter or Gameking or Speer BTSP for that matter, theyve all got a decent sized exposed soft lead tip that gets the expansion started. They all just work.
