Shoot 165 or 168gr Barnes TSX or TTSX's and you will have one bullet that will do everything a 30 cal should be asked to do, with terrific accuracy, and better than the other two bullets at any game and at any reasonable range. Easy as that.
I agree with this....never spent much time working up loads for "deer" bullets.Because I don't know exactly what I'll be hunting in a given year,I just loaded a tougher bullet, suited to anything I might go after.
Elk bullets work really well on deer
