The SST factory loads guys have brought out my range shot impressively consistent. And the SST has tons of good reports as a killing bullet.

My RRA loves the Federal 115gr. I've taken 9 deer with 9 shots.

I'm usually a Hornady fan, but the 115 Fusions impressed the heck out of me.

Mine shoots 110 v-max the best but I've never hunted with them. Do the v-max perform like the a-maxes?

Per the 68 forum , the Hornady 120 SST is the go to round and it has been the best in the 3 6.8s I've owned. I've also shot the Hornady 110 match which shot nearly as well, 115 Fusions which shot well in 2 of 3 rifles and I tried the 90 Gold Dots and SSA 115 OTM which were the worst in my rifles. I use 120 SST in my hand loads.

Another vote for Federal Fusion. And the Remington Accutips ( I think ) shoot to almost the same point as the Fusion in my gun.

Seems like lots of folks are shooting the 90 gr GD/Bonded bullet; XM68GD, and the 120 SST.
