Default Bullet question?

Of these 2 bullets, which would be the best one for a 200 yard shot?

290gr Barnes T-EZ with supplied sabot

300gr Scorpion PT Gold with cr sabot.

Now I know there are many other bullets out there but these 2 are the only ones I am concerned with.

Also which one would put a deer down the best at that range?

Thanks for your replies, I appreciate it.

I shoot the Barnes and it outperforms all expectations. The 290 gr. holds better down range energy than any of the other Barnes bullets. It has been a real winner with me and it has put some bone on the wall. Great bullet.

I say the one which is most accurate in your gun.

A well placed shot will with a quality bullet will trump anything else.

I shoot and hunt with the 300 gn Scorpion. I know both are good but at $22 for 50 the Scorpions let me practice and hunt with the same bullet.
