[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 983809, member: 63138"] Like you I'm all about the meat so I shoot Barnes TTSX or LRX bullets. Case in point. I shot a small Montana whitetail a few years ago just to see how bad the meat damage would be with my 338 RUM. I was using a 210 grain TTSX at 3,200 fps. The shot was broadside at 220 yards. The deer hunched up and staggered for 20 yards and fell over. As I suspected, it didn't hurt a scrap of meat. You could eat the bullet hole. I'm running the 145 grain LRX in my 7mm WSM and it groups around 1 inch at 200 yards so you can get pretty good accuracy even loaded to magazine length. Barnes bullets don't blow the crap out of what you are shooting like say a Berger HVLD or Nosler Ballistic Tip would when up close so I use them from zero to 600 yards. Out past 600 yards where you need all the energy delivered to the animal I shoot Bergers. [/QUOTE]
