I always ran 100 grain TTSX at 3340ish out of my 25-06.
My Dad had not deer hunted in 10 years and wanted to go this year with my son so He used my 25-06 this year.
We all hunted together out of the same blind. Dad shot a doe at about 100 yards with TTSX that my son couldn't get on. About 10 minutes later my son shot a button buck at 149 yards with a .243 and 85 grain partition.
The .243 partition caused several times more meat damage than the TTSX going several hundred a feet per second faster.
Dink
All flavors of mono bullets continue to underwhelm in the smaller calibers. I've had good luck with the 30 cals. .257 and .223 seem to result in l-o-n-g tracking jobs and very little blood to trail. Regardless of velocity.
I'm going to try some 7mms, but from here on out, everything is going to be leaded in the smaller guns.
