Federal is your best bet for factory ammo with 4 hunting loads, they have the 180 Vital Shock Swift A Frame, 158 Vital Shock Barnes XPB, 158gr Fusion HP, and last and least would be the 180 cast core. Winchester only has one offering now that I know of and that is the 158gr Winchester X SP, they used to have the 180gr Partition Gold which was an excellent round. If you handload I'd probably go with the A Frame unless you can find some partitions and after that the XTP's, I can't speak to the Barnes stuff since I don't use any of it.
