    Depends what you are after. Big splat go with vmaxs or similar. 55gr vmax head neck or rear lung will kill anything.
    For cheap and effective go with Belmont. In the last 3 weeks I have used fiocchi 55gr sp which are $50 for 50, Hornady frontier which are the same price basically and privi ammo as well shooting goats hares and deer. I have just been buying whatever is cheapest off the shelf as I chew through a large amount and have been too slack to do a mail order form for Belmont. Out of all of those the fiocchi was my favourite although some have had trouble getting it to group.
