I would go for the speer 87gr if they were in stock. The sierra 90gr hpbt is pretty short and is a known good bullet for them as well. There's also the 85gr pro hunter in stock to try.

Interestingly, I've got a box of factory winchester super ammo with it as well as some Barnes 85gr Handloads. I can't imagine they went too well and I don't know who loaded them so Ill deconstruct them.

Ill get a range day in next week to try. Hope to have some sika stags come in to the call on Mon Tuesday. Reds been piss poor for me this year. Might scout further south for next year.

Greetings Pushover,
I have most of a box of the obsolete Hornady 87 grain spitzer here if your current options don't pan out and you want to try something different. I could send you a few to try. The 85 grain game kings could be a better option though.
