.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

Have a 1-12 twist 22-250. Shots won’t be terribly far so BC not a huge deal. Deer and smaller game. Recommendations on bullets?
Sierra 55 grain SBT proved to be an excellent bullet for me in a 1in14 Ruger number 1. I killed deer from 25 yards to 200 yards. The bullet holds up very well for a traditional cup and core even at higher velocities.

That is more or less a game king bullet?

I think the best bullet for hunting deer with your current rifle configuration would be the Winchester 64 grain PowerPoint loaded ammo or the 50 grain TTSX. Keep your shots sub 200 yards so your velocity remains high. I'd suggest planning on a new fast twist barrel if you want to hunt deer sized game with that rifle.
