If it does pretty good with winchester rounds try hornady or remington rounds. I have two remington 700s and neither group well with winchester rounds.

No core lokt is more of a soft point but if your shooting through grass or leaves core lokt is the way to go. If you like making big exit wounds and blowing stuff up then ballistic is the way to go. Hornady has the best ballistic in my opinion.

Nice rifle in a great caliber. How's that Nikon? I think optics are way more important than the rifle itself.
