Okay

I have just gotten my new 116 .270 today Trophy Hunter XP. Been around guns for a while. I am little perplexed about what kind of ammo to use.

Given the fact that I have a brand new rifle(which I have never had) I am trying to sort things out. I recognize that a rifle is not the same as me going to the range with my handgun to sling a bunch of lead out for self defense purposes. I use entirely different ammo for self defense.

My new rifle needs to be sighted in at the range @100-150 yards. I am thinking that I should get my brick and mortar gun shop to laser boresight first and then sighted at range for true accuracy. For this, what ammo should I use. Do I want what I call ball ammo or a premium grade cartridge for sighting. Brand? Type(jacketed vs non-jacketed, etc)?

in the end, my intent will be deer in the freezer....thanks for the guidance.
