Deer/Antelope Bullet for 6.5x47/Creed

So far I don't think anyone has mentioned them. I'm a big fan of Barnes bullets for deer. Worked flawlessly every deer I've shot with them. In 6.5's I use the 127gr LRX, 7mm the 145gr LRX, or 160 TSX, 9.3 the 250gr TTSX. I used Berger's for a long time, they kill the deer all the same, but was getting substantially more meat damage with the Bergers. I don't really care if a deer drops in its tracks. A well placed shot, and the deer runs 50-75 yards, its all the same. Deer is down, and meat on the table. Saying that, I had just as many deer run 75 yards with Bergers as I do with Barnes.

They sell a lot of product but it all comes down to shot placement. A deer will die with a well placed .17 caliber bullet.
