Trystan;
Good evening to you sir, I hope this finds you well.

We've had some direct experience with the combination you've asked about.

Here's a link to a thread dealing with the subject.
http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/9248055/2

I will note that since the above thread I've had the rifle I mentioned barreled with a military barrel - so it's the deep grooved, fast twist I was looking for.

I'm using 120gr TTSX bullets in it loaded to 3000fps. With that combination I've killed two mulie bucks. The first in the 2015 season was one of few that I've witnessed flip over onto it's back with 4 feet in the air after being hit.

This year's dropped so fast that our daughter who was spotting for me said his chin bounced when it hit the ground.

We don't shoot the number of animals some of the folks here do, but having said that we've seen enough die to form reasonably educated opinions on the subject. wink

Hopefully that was useful information for you or someone out there sir. If I can be of any help please let me know and I'll try my best to help.

Good luck whichever way you decide and all the best to you this year.

Dwayne
