Unless someone want to part with some Varget or trade for for a box of 150 grains.
Im not looking for any match grade ammo just something I can take deer with out to 250 yards.

I just ran the numbers for the 165 Barnes and at 41 grains you SHOULD still be above 1,800 FPS at 400 yards, but a chronograph and some accuracy testing at that range will be needed to be sure. 1,800 is the outside limit to which these bullets appperently expand reliably
I am not sure what yoou max range is that you are capable of killing game.
As far as COL goes, every Barnes bullet I have loaded ofr different cartridges from the .243 up to the 338 Lapua liked a pile of jump, nowhere near the lands like my jacketed bullets .
In fact, even though Barnes recomends .050 off the lands, I start mine at the top of the firsst driving band.
The loads usually end up between .090 and .125 from the lands !!
There is the exception to every rule, but with Barnes though I haven't found it yet.
If you want the COAL that Barnes recommends on their site it is 2.735 for their 165 grain TTSX
