[QUOTE="rost495, post: 30193, member: 1768"] I'll go against the grain and suggest the X bullet. 1 weight lighter than the typical selection. IE if you choose the 165 jacketed then go with 150X(Failsafe is very similar). With Barnes X I've never had a failure or failure to penetrate. Most deer I've taken are anywhere from 80 to 200 pounds. And from about 40 yards out to about 500 yards. The bullets always open up enough to do plenty damage. In fact if close range bothers you, try 150x on 140 pound deer. Both culls shot within 50 yards. Both exits a lot larger than I care for, on the order of 3 inch exits. Try the expansion of average exits past 200 yards are on the order of 50cent to silver dollar sized. Plenty good, plus never have recovered a bullet from a deer kill. My 2cents. Jeff [/QUOTE]
