Recently picked up a little marlin xs7 for shooting coyotes and I like it so much I think I'm going to load something for western Kentucky white tail. Looking for suggestions on bullets that are capable of making a double shoulder shot on a big buck should one step out, but still perform on regular sized white tail out to 300 yards.

I'm considering the following.

1. 100gr nosler partitions.

2. 85gr Barnes tsx

Any other bullets meet these needs? What about factory loads?
