Suggestions for .224 high BC Medium Game Bullet

I've got a 22-250 with a fast twist barrel (1-8") and would like to use it for Pronghorn/Whitetail. Any suggestions from those in the know would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have been shooting the 77 grain TMK in my 8 twist tikka '250
Only killed a couple varmints and a large white tail doe so far but I'm liking it.

It seems that a lot of guys like to 80gr or 88gr ELD-M bullets in the fast twist 22s. Personally, I've been shooting the Berger 80gr FullBore and 85.5 Hy-Tgt bullets. They are both very accurate in my 7.5 twist Creedmoor. I'm tempted to take a whitetail with the 22 Creedmoor this year, but I have so many more appropriate cartridges that I'll hold off for now.

Good luck with your 22-250.
