6mm for Deer
I'd go with 85 grain Barnes TSX. Made of solid copper so they cant blow up. Controlled expansion resulting in close to 100% weight retention. Will leave a 1" to 1.5" wound channel, kills without making a mess of your deer. Usually passes through the deer, leaving a blood trail on both sides...if instant kill does not occur. Because they do have such great terminal performance you can shoot them lighter for caliber than conventional bullets but at greater velocity thereby postively affecting kenetic energy and reducing trajectory.
Try using Varget powder with them.
The 6mm is considered "light for deer" by some. Not when using Barnes. They level the playing field making it very adequate for the purpose.
