I know this has likely been asked to death, but I'm curious what the recommendations are on factory hunting ammo.
I'm going to be taking my 18" monster barrel to hunt mule deer in Utah. I don't have any reloading equipment, just to damn pricey to get into it, so I'm looking only at factory ammo.
It sounds like the Hornady 123g sst has issues with expanding, so I'm thinking of striking that off the list. So far I'm looking at Federal 130gr Berger Hybrid, the Federal 120g fusion, or the Alexander Arms loaded Barnes 120g TSX HPBT.
Does anyone have any experience with these loads? or any other recommendations?
