If nothing else, the 55gr. TTSX shoots very well in my rifle, and kills deer and feral hogs with aplomb! grin


Thanks for the insight. Do you have just as much confidence on deer and hogs with the 223 as a 243 with an 80 or 85 grain TTSX or an 85 grain Gameking? I've had good results with the Gameking in 243. Do you think the Montana would shoot these 243 bullets as well as one of the 223's you mentioned?

I would be interested to hear how the 69 Scenars and 62 TSX's shoot for you.
