As this's drifted a bit, I would like to make something perfectly clear before a course correction.
The grass is NOT greener on TOS, or about any other site for that matter, they have just as much dirty laundry (actually more).
I completely agree. Every self-proclaimed “influencer” or YouTube personality wants to pontificate ad nauseum. I cannot stand gun videos unless I’m watching fullauto dumps without much if any discussion. And don’t get me started on Bookface and instagram. They are the worst ways to discuss things.

you'd need a varmint bullet to expect expansion in flesh at 1600 fps. Best figure on 1800 fps. I favor the Nosler 60 gr Partiion, 2400 fps, with AA 2520 powder, it's almost impossible to get that bullet now, tho, in virus-time. It still expands in coyotes at 200m.

Photos have been removed, but it was this thread.
I've just begun evaluating bullets in living things instead of jello, over the last half decade. I find it is very pertinent and covers things gel doesn't. My goal is to kill things fast and effective vs attain expertdom. Not to say gel isn't good though especially for comparisons head to head.
Social Media? Good God, have you ever been to a gun store or a range...95% of the people there don't a clue what they are talking about yet think they are some how God's gift to the firearm's community.
This isn't a social media thing...AFAIK it's a firearms community filled with FUDDs and BUBBAs thing.
Anywho.... I did similar research when looking for rounds for my wife 10.5 HD rifle. I ended up using Hornady 68 BTHP as that is what was readily available and was listed to work well. I pushed them to 2500-2550 fps from that 10.5 barrel with H322 for a low flash, low recoil, accurate round. They also shoot really well out of my 14.7 BA barrel. I did a bunch of research and it appears they reliably do their down to thing to 2400 fps with some reports of them working well down to 2100 fps. That aught to work well for HD ranges. I am also able to create them for FAR less than a dollar a round. If I could find them I would buy a case or two of Frontier 5.56 68BTHP. They are slightly less accurate but get another 100 fps.
