Thread: good projectiles for longer ranges?

I've shot one deer at 400 yards with my .308 and the Barnes projectiles, supprisingly there was a lot of impact damage. I've shot quite a few deer with that projectile and none of them have dropped on the spot. I'm still a little bit suspicious about that projectiles performance, that's why I suggested the LR TTSX.

What grain weight? Interesting. They are a good projectile indeed.
Definitely lighter and faster is better for the Barnes I've used and am using.
All deer I've shot with the TSX and ttsx have moved 1-15metres. No dramas at all and all well dead. But I wouldn't use the Barnes for extended ranges where velocity is falling away. Even if they were accurate as.
I haven't used them in the 6.5 neither so half a teaspoon of salt with my response please...
