I'm shooting a Savage Model 110 I believe its a 2002 first year they had the AccuTrigger. I have shot a few different rounds over the years. Remington Corelok, Hornady American Whitetail, Winchester Silver Tips, Winchester Deer Season XP
.270
Curious what you think is the best?

Yep. Knew a Winchester 30/06 that hated winchester ammo but was lights out with Remington 180 round nose corelokts.

TSX
I hate playing find the easter egg
Sig Sauer, to hell and back reliable.
Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.
Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?

Well if you're wearing skinny jeans and have your hair all tied up in a nice tight little man bun on top of your head, there is only one best round for whitetail and that is any bullet in a 6.5 CREED. Notice I remebered to capitalize it 338!!
If you're too afraid ot the killing power and not shooting a Creed like many on here, then anything shooting a Barnes TTSX, Hornady BTSP, or Nosler Partition. Killing deer is easy. Put a good round in a good spot and they die like they are supposed to.

If your not shooting a Creed, then anything shooting a Barnes TTSX, Hornady BTSP, or Nosler Partition. Don't forget your HECS suit and magic ozone box. 😀

Since we don’t know the calibre I’ll have to say if you wet the stopper it’ll stick to the plastic deer target better
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

Generally speaking, the best whitetail rounds: A. Make an entrance. B. Make an exit. C. Cause the deer to spray lungs from his mouth and nose.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

A light weight Barnes TTSX will make a mess . I have had the opposite experience with the 130 ttsx out of a 308. They seem to penetrate like there's no tomorrow and expand fine, but I dont think they shock enough. I think I'm switching to ballistic tips.
May the sound of hounds never die!

I loaded 48 130 gr tsx with 58 gr of Imr 4064 spitin’ out at about 3250 FPS out of my 30-06. I think they’ll leave a mark...

I shoot the 150ttsx in my 7mag. In the past 2 years I’ve shot 5 deer. All were dead within 10 yards of where they were shot. Of course I shoot for the ball of the shoulder which makes a huge difference. Double lung one and they can run 100 yards no mater what cartridge.

I’ve been shooting tsx and ttsx 165s and 180s for 11 years. Of all the critters I’ve killed only 2 bullets did not completely past through. If I don’t get an exit wound with the 130s I have 100+ rounds of 165 ttsx 56.5 gr imr 4350 .

My experience is I always get pass throughs and the ground looks like a crime scene. Most are DRT , those that run never go out of sight and leave a red river blood trail.
