So a bullet recommendation changes based on if the whitetail is southern or northern? Thanks for the laugh....
I'd shoot whatever is more accurate at those short ranges...
The deer won't give a rip I promise...

YA a northern deer can weigh 300+ #. A southern deer will never weigh that 180 l# at most. So bullet weigh would make a difference. Not to mention the BC on the 160 is way better.
One has to be careful when using the word "never". I've shot three in central Mississippi that went over 225 lbs (on a scale) and two of those were just over 235.
