The regular old 55gr Winchester soft points. Them suckers penetrate like crazy.I made a plinker a while back out of a 1 inch thick piece of plate that is 4 or 5 inches round. I shot it with different stuff like 40 gr and 50gr and 55gr ballistic tips that i load myself and then with a 55gr factor loaded soft point Winchester at about 75 to 100yrds to check the different ways the bullets were expanding on impact. The 55gr soft point near went threw it with a very small impact crater. The other ballistic tips were more of less just splashing on the surface of the steel. The depth of the hole and the size of the hole the 55gr soft point left was comparable to my 270 shooting a 130gr soft point at the same range. Its hard to tell the difference in the 2 except the hole from the 270 is a little larger in diameter, but thats to be expected.
I have put the 55gr soft points threw a piece of 3/8 plate at 100yrds. If i had to guess i would say that it penetrated about 3/4 of the way or a little more threw the 1" steel disk.
