Bob: the 80TTSX is the only bullet that I could find that consistently shot well in a very picky 257. it has worked very well on numerous deer. I like shoulder shots to drop them quickly in the thorny brush. The only one I had a problem with was a mature buck at just short of 300 yards quartering away. The bullet did not exit. No blood trail. Took a long time to find him.
For the purposes you described they should work well
