What are you calling short barrel? 16 inches (with a 6 inch suppressor). I agree with CNC. Sometimes, those deer just have a will to live.
Only thing I do different, is I shoot them directly in the shoulder and a little higher. Get both lungs and break down their running gear. Sure, you mess up the meat on the shoulder, but honestly isn't much there to begin with. If they do run, they are having to bulldoze since that running gear is trashed. But, most drop in their tracks. I don't have a 6.5 but shoot a 7-08 most of the time. Ballistics are soo close, you are splitting hairs. I use Barnes TTX and love them. Never ran it through a chrono, but I believe I am close to 3,000 fps right out of the barrel I fully understand and agree. I'm not looking for advice on a bullet that will anchor them where they stand..... I know that doesn't exist. What I'm looking for is bullets that leave better blood trails. My 140 grain ABLR's have not been doing a good job of that.
