Yeah just leave out the 500yard, most if not all bullets will expand notably better in the 2000fps range vs 1800fps. Seem several bullets tested at 1800fps on 10% BG the "expansion" was usually nothing more then a slightly deformed tip, step them up to 2k and you get much more impressive results. The TTSX is something of a tough bullet, if I ever were to use a bullet at such low impact speeds it would be something tipped, thin jacket rapid expansion not a solid copper bullet.This will do just fine for me and any deer in the lower 49 (includes Hawaii).
.308 Win Kimber Montana and a Barnes 150gr TTSX VOR-TX factory load.
