Carl, you're right the TSXs seem very promising at this point. I may not give up on the AFs completely just yet though. I'm pretty sure at today's session I'll see the solids around 2350 and that should be enough, about 4900 ft-lbs and all the penetration I should need.

The 9.3x62 was sort of an unexpected opportunity and takes the place of a particular favorite, a 35 Whelen. First chrono of the 286 Prvi Partisan factory loads though only showed 2090 fps. If I had more time I'd load 250 Accubonds, but instead will take a 300WSM with 180 Partitions PP as a 2nd rifle. Leaving on July 30 and will return in Mid-August. Stay tuned, some interesting things may yet happen and the photos of the trip should prove interesting.
