As others have said, the Barnes should work well if you put it where it needs to be. +1 on the 60 grain Nosler Partition for me though. I have taken 3 mule deer the past three years, all one shot kills at 30, 250, and 350 yrds (all ranged). This years was the 350 yrd shot on a forked horn with complete pass through breaking ribs on both sides. I had hesitation at first with all the nay sayers, but am a firm believer in shooting what you shoot the best. I put a lot of rounds through my Stevens/Savage every year predator hunting, and know exactly where it will go if I do my part. Good luck! You have made a good choice.
