165 gr barnes tsx or speer grand slam will drop anything we have in lower 48 and respectable ranges.

I hammered a bull with my 260 using a 120gr ballistic tip.  They can all do it; but like someone else mentioned with the lighter bullet just remember not to be tryin to bust through alot of bone. I'd go with whatever shoots best through your rifle out of the 165 or 180
Further.Faster.First.
