Why don[t you try some 150-grain Ballistic Tips?


Not sure but this seems aimed at me. I don't recall ever mentioning the bullet failed or that I expected the elk to drop it its tracks or the reason I'm switching to a TTSX. I just described my short experience with them.

Honestly I came very close to using the exact same load LRAB this year on my elk hunt. I've never used a TTSX on anything and I wanted to give them a shot (pun not intended. :D) Plus the TTSX shot really well in my rifle.
