Hunting deer, whitetail deer. Not going to be chasing hogs with this load. Soooo.... does anyone have experience with a bullet in the 120-140 grain range that will give reliable expansion and good penetration at 300BO velocities? Ya know, give that DRT kinda performance? Don’t plan on stretching shots beyond 150 yards, and preferably staying at 100 yds or less. Should be able to get muzzle velocity out of my 16” barrel at around 2000fps or better.

One possibility I have looked at, the Barnes 130gr TTSX. Anyone have experience with that bullet out of 300BO ? Dang they pricey though.
