400 legend - go to ammo (deer, hogs)
- Rem Core-Lokt 210gr
- Win Deer Season XP 190gr
- Win power point 215gr
- Fed power shock 210gr

These seem to be the main choices.

Leaning toward the Core-Lokt

Belly, I have.never even held a 400 legend, much less shot one, but it’s my opinion the federal is the highest quality ammo on your list.

I used the 215gr Winchester power point with incredible results. I shot a large buck in Illinois last season that was well over 200Lbs. I shot him at a ranged 175yds. I then took a 180Lb buck at about 20yds that was DRT. It’s my new favorite woods gun.

Thing about these straight walls is they don't make enough velocity for much to wrong with them. I'm a Core lokt guy but any of them should do the job.

I have seem other good reports about the 215gr power points.
