I have a Ruger Ranch Rifle (7.62X39mm) with a Leupold 2-7X Scope.  I can reload but will use Hornady ammo for Whitetails in Central Texas.

Regarding the best ammo, Google & Youtube is your friend.  There are lots of solid reviews with excellent ammo including Hornady and ammo using Barnes TSX bullets.  Out to 200-300 yard or your ability, it will do fine.

I live in Central Texas as well.  Our deer are relatively scrawny relative to midwest US deer...

There I'd look more to federal fusion than than hornady.

Federal Fusion is a good choice also.
