I was planning to use a general purpose Barnes TTSX load I developed for my 280AI; 150 gr. but someone alerted me to this concern.

I'm developing a load for a 140 gr Accubond as a result of that concern. That and I like the idea of a flatter shooting bullet out of this rifle for the smaller game species of big game.


I would suggest caribou are the ultimate herd animal in NA and we use the TTSX almost exclusively... but if you listen to the numbers of folks claiming they always get pass-throughs with the NPT you have to realize any bullet can go all the way through more than one critter.

You should only shoot when the situation allows it...
