I've hunted ground squirrels to moose with my -06, 130-grain HPs to 200-grain BTSPs. My fav all around load is Sierra 165-grain BTSPs over IMR 4064. Great load.

Lubing cases is something of a evil necessity, and if I don't lube down to the base, I can stick a case for sure. Imperial sizing wax is what I use now and haven't stuck a case since.

I recommend a Hornady head space comparator and resizing the case just enough to bump the shoulder about .002. That will help prevent case stretching a lot and increase case life.
