Bullets favored for hunting from the ARC

[Newmexican]

Very interesting thread. CZ, your disappointing experience with cup-and-core bullets has me thinking hard about the Barnes 80-grain TTSX BT in a hunting application from my Savage bolt gun. I doubt I would ever shoot beyond 400 yards at a deer or an antelope, and I have had very good luck with Barnes Triple Shocks in larger calibers. Being an old Oregon boy, (John Nosler's younger brother Steve used to drop by and chat when I worked in retirement at the Sportsman's Warehouse in Medford) I'd also consider Nosler's 95-grain Partition, although these don't have the highest BCs compared to the competition.
