[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 27210, member: 25"] Sako, Last season we had kills with the 168 Barnes XLC on very large Sask. whitetails and a mulie buck, the bullet performed perfectly. Not sure which grain weight you are using but you can trust Barnes bullets for reliable performance. They do not always "mushroom" quite as large as lead-core bullets but they open up and kill. You will have no problem using them on mule deer, would be a great choice. There are now three "X" bullets, the original Barnes X, the blue-coated XLC and the newest Triple Shock that has three grooves cut into the body to reduce the contact area (and eliminate the need to coat them). We are about to test shoot the Triple Shot, haven't had time to get to them recently. I find that the 75 is one of the most accurate out-of-the box rifles on the market. Not surprised yours is shooting so well, I have also had exceptional accuracy with my .300 and it has never been bedded or tinkered with. Only change I did was switch from Sako mounts to Warnes as I believe the Warnes are much simpler and stronger. [/QUOTE]
