That's more my selection bias, I like heavy round nose bullets on game; they are also very accurate.
180 grain Speer RN is good, the 174 grain Hornady RN is good. The Winchester 180 Power Point SP is good. The Highland / PPU 180 Grain BTSP is good. (I have not shot anything with 150 grainers as far...
