Funny thing is, i never get to choose the bullet. The rifle, he gets the choice. This year i decided to use the 275 grain BE. The rifle chose the 300 grain XTP. After all said, and done, i guess i am glad he did; the gut shot deer didn't get far, and is in the freezer.
His criteria are neither BC, nor terminal performance, but his choice did do a very fine job putting the deer down, even with a lousy shot on my part.
