Every rifle is different you you will get a ton of suggestions. For factory ammo in my axis I shoot hornady superformance 53gr vmax.
Unfortunately every rifle is different and has it's own particular taste. I and a co-worker both have the exact same Savage 111 .30-06, bought the same time from WSS. They are within 15 rifles of each other based on serial number and his likes Remington Cor-lokt and mine won't shoot them for crap. They pattern about 5-6" @ 100yds. His shoots them around 1" or less. His won't do much better than that with Federal blue box and mine is perfectly happy shooting 1 1/2" groups with that.
