  The Remiongton 6.8 Core-Lokt owuld be a suggestion but it is not cheap (about $30+/- a box). I use the Hornady at $20-$24 a box for coyotes and hogs.
  
  
  From Remington site:
  Remingotn Premierr Core-Loktr Ultra Bondedr
  
  Premier Core-Lokt Ultra Bonded is a bullet in a class of its own. Developed and designed by Remington's industry-leading R&D staff, and manufactured to our exacting process standards, Core-Lokt Ultra Bonded offers hunters the unique combination of excellent accuracy, superb weight retention and expansion with overall superior terminal results. The bonded bullet retains up to 95% of its original weight with maximum penetration and energy transfer. Featuring a progressively tapered jacket design, the Core-Lokt Ultra Bonded bullet initiates and controls expansion nearly 2x. The unique design of the bullet combined with the bonded lead core provides the hunter with a Premier bullet that yields unmatched performance from 50 yards to 500 yards and all yardages in-between. Premier Core-Lokt Ultra Bonded - the new standard in high-performance hunting bullets.

  Silver State Armory makes a few variations on hunting ammunition for the 6.8mm. They use both Sierra Pro Hunter bullets and Nosler AccuBonds:

  Hornady also makes hunting ammunition.
  
  Best.
