Hornady Varmint Express 2.75" 4 buck or Hornady Heavy Mag 3" BB. Going for $17 box of 10. Pattern great with regular chokes(specifically IC or MOD per Hornady instructions) My guns pattern them well at 50 yards and beyond. They are a fraction of the HTL options but use the Versatite wad(flight control from FED) and higher antimony lead to minimize deforming. It is a really well thought formula for tight patterns without having to go to higher costing materials such as TSS. I wish Winchester would put together a Predator specific shell using their "Long beard" Shot Lok Turkey shells. They would also be fairly inexpensive vs TSS.
No doubt TSS and HTL are better because harder, heavier and other reasons, but their price and availability is simply out of this world for most guys.
