Off the shelf I found the Federal Fusion, 165 grains, grouped very well and did a nice job on impacts. They hit hard and every animal was a clean kill on a single shot. I tried other loads and brands, but none shot well through my gun. It was finicky on ammo.
I prefer to carry my 35 Whelan for elk or moose, and especially so if there are a few grizzlies wandering the area. Never had to worry abot a bear yet, but it's nice to have a bigger thump if required.
