30 cal bullets for 17.5 twist

I have just put together my boys 30-223 with a 17.5 twist barrel. I am going to try the 110 pro hunter first. The jbm calc says i need a bullet .820 long or less. If anyone knows of another good whitetail bullet in those parameters please share. max fps at muzzle will be 2800fps.
 
Since you were already on JBM, use their bullet length page to
browse what company's have that particular length, though may
not be viable for deer.....Also, because of the small 223 case, take a
good look at all copper to get the speeds up. Barnes always had a decent
copper in that area. There is also Cutting Edge and Hammer Bullets. I'd
side more towards Hammer. The 103gr Power Hammer is about .790"
long and needs an 18 twister or faster, so your good to go there......
