Hornady black factory ammo, already has the best bullet, 123 gr eld-m, and don't even need to reload, have 15 head of Alberta big game in 5 seasons from wolf to moose, 10-420 yards, average shot distance 163 yards, average recovery distance 13 yards. That ammo has shot accurate in everything so far. About moa in cz American, about 3/4 moa in ruger American ranch, about 1/2 moa in howa 20" lightweight (all 3-shot groups), and was 1/2 moa in a proof carbon 24" barrel I ran for awhile too, and fast in the proof barrel, 2605 fps average, it ran 2552 fps average from the 23.5" factory cz American barrel, and around 2500 from 20" howa, it does 2386 fps out of the 16.1" ruger American ranch. Just buy cases and have a blast, range or animals, it squeaks the most from this niche end of cartridge selection and 30 grains of powder. No need to overthink it at all. Everything right off the shelf.
