$199 special???? You're shopping at the wrong Walmart!
I shoot 95 grain Nosler ballistic tips from my 6mm rem. I've heard of people having bad experiences with them, but I've never had one come even close to letting me down. From 40 yards to 330 yards they've performed perfectly for me.

Wait. I just got it. You mean the gun was $199. I was about to crap my pants thinking someone paid that much for bullets.

You can't go wrong with a 100gr hornady BTSP. I've piled up many out of a 6mm.

Push Hornady 100s to 2900 and they kill.

Barnes 80 grain TTSX as fast as you can get it going.

Barnes 80 grain TTSX as fast as you can get it going. That's the plan. My compact 700 shot 95gr fusions around 2650fps and killed deer just fine, even shoulder shots on big bucks lol. My T3 shoots those fusions around 2900fps. My new hunting load is a 80gr ttsx at 3450fps, I stopped at 48gr of super and called it good.

Most people swear by the 95gr Nosler Balistic tips. I have not had a chance to try those yet. I have tried the 80gr TTSXs and just haven't found the right load for it yet.

Nosler 95 gr. Partitions. Using them since fall of 1998 on big mule deer. But, you have to pick your shot. The angle of your shot is very important along with shot placement.

Any of these will do just fine for most whitetail deer hunted within reasonable distances. 250 yards and under.

I have a .243 super short. I load 95gr nosler purple tips but I use the 100gr load data for the load. I don't use the max load but .5 gr below the max. It has been the best load for my gun. Powder is h380 as well.
I would rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6.

I load both Sierra Pro Hunters and Speer Grand Slams. Both are wicked accurate with Sierras giving me more DRTs and Speers giving me more exits. Any heavy for caliber hunting bullet pushed hard and placed into the vitals is bad news for whitetails.

I load mainly for a .260 but I would look long and hard at Berger Hunting VLDs those things are bad medicine.

I've got a Model 7 with a 16" barrel, do yall think I could get the 80 gr ttsx fast enough to be beneficial.
