[QUOTE="orifdoc, post: 1989602, member: 115070"] My two biggest deer fell 36 hours apart in two different states to a .257 Wby Vanguard with 100 gr TTSX. I wasn’t even aware they made an 80gr version. Whatever you would gain in speed really isn’t needed and it would give up that speed pretty quickly with a lower BC. The Barnes is paired well to those extreme velocities but it takes a hellacious quantity of powder to get that speed. In my mind it makes sense to use a bullet that will retain that advantage at distance. There aren’t many great bullets in .257 for true long-range stuff. I really like Barnes, but with them I prefer through-shoulder shots. They don’t destroy much meat compared to others I’ve used. I’ve only ever recovered one bullet (.308 180 gr TTSX) and is was under the skin on the far side of an eland bull. [/QUOTE]
