S&W,all that info is on the Barnes website, and also you can "talk to a tech".
If you push that 168 fast enough it should be a decent bullet out to 250.
Nosler makes the E-tip, which is a copper bullet, I currently use the 150 and it shoots well in my new 700, but I havent taken game with that bullet.

I'd test several types and weights if it were me, no one wants to goof a killer hunt up by poor bullet selection and poor shot placement.

Like Brian said, with Barnes bullets, speed is everything.
