    I use Federal Fusion 140gr and still have some Sako Gamehead Pro 130gr left (no longer produced). I wish Sako they still made these - super accurate out of my Sako 75.

    Hornaday Superperformance looks mint but pretty exy.

    I also have some Norma 156g but haven't tried it hunting yet given I'm sighted in on lighter ammo.

    My understanding is that European ammo is often loaded "hotter" than American ammo so as long as you have a modern rifle could be better option.

    Otherwise roll your owns are the way to go.

    Cheers
