The bullets yo have picked out should work fine... I will let others who reload for this caliber comment further...

Another option, perhaps on the slightly heavy side would be lighter bullets that were intended for .30 Carbine... I remember back when I loaded that caliber that there were some dandy Round-nosed half-jacket slugs which expanded nicely that I believe were made by Hornady or Nosler... I think they were 110 Grains... as I said, perhaps a little on the heavy side, but if you can load them to the proper overall length (OAL) they will probably perform very well on small game.
