I used to shoot the 130 out of mine.

150 grain Winchester Supreme Elite XP3 - $50 a box but bullets will touch at 100 yards. I sighted mine in at 1.5" high at 100 yds, that puts it dead on at 200, 6" low at 300
I've been happy with these bullets over the last 5 or 6 years.

i shoot the winchester 150grain powerpoints. 2" high at 100, is 5" low at 300, and 16" low at 400

droped a 9point last year at 346, the gun is extremely fast. you can see the bullet hit the deer in the scope before you feel the recoil.
