Fwiw....I worked w/a buddies bolt in 300 wsm. He had a box of federal 165 partition factory ammo. It was clocking 3230 and leaving faint extractor marks. We worked up to that same speed w/168 ttsx and re17 and the extractor marks disappeared. I can't remembrt oal but we ran a few at Max magazine length and set back in. 030" till we got great groups.
My buddy went on a "hunt of a lifetime" in AK and got a nice moose and carribou...he was really happy w/the bullets performance. When you think about it the 168ttsx will outperform 180 lead bullets hands down and makes the 300 wsm perform like yesterdays 300 wby.
