285 and 300 grainers sound kind of heavy for deer.250 work pretty good from what I've seen.Friend shot a buck at 45 yards w/a 250 gr. xtp.Deer took 2 steps and dropped.My best kill came w/a 250 barnes sabot MZ on a doe @ 60 yards.Dropped in her tracks.Barnes has some boat tail sabots in 250 gr. for those long shots,if you're interested.These are currently the only 2 brands I can speak for.
