[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1391321, member: 30743"] My deer rifle is a 6.5x47L shooting 100 TTSX’s at 3100 FPS. Most of my hunting is over food plots and there’s no where I can shoot over 400 yds. High BC doesn’t matter and I’ll take the velocity over BC any day at those ranges. The little TTSX also out penetrates any Berger ever made, I’ve not been able to keep one in a deer yet. I realize this forum is about long range hunting but a heavy high BC bullet offers no advantage at shorter ranges and has some disadvantages. At normal hunting ranges I’ll take a fast lightweight TTSX, they shoot flatter, kick less, give better penetration and just flat put a smackdown on game. For the OP there are a lot of rounds that will give 3200 with an 18” barrel and a light TTSX starting with the 243 and 80 grainers. I can’t see wanting to go all the way to a 300 WSM for deer but it’d work. [/QUOTE]
