I have always run 100 grain bullets with RL15 at 3150. I picked up some 80 grain TTSX Barnes to try. Anyone doing this? Is so what powder etc. thanks in advance....Goodshot

AA3100 (MR3100 is the same) at modest velocities for the particular cartridge has been my favorite. Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Our youngest daughter's .250AI shot the 80gr TTSX very well. If my notes are correct we ran 43gr of 760, CCI 200 Primers with a COAL of 2.560". The resulting velocity at 15' was 3125fps. She shot 3 local bucks with that bullet, we recovered one from a second rack mulie buck. The buck was about 200yds out, the bullet hitting a rib going in, shredded the heart and then shattered the left humerus bone before lodging under the skin on the offside scapula area. It's on the left and is .510" across and weighs 79.9gr. We ran 100gr Hornady in her rifle previous to this and while we had good luck with them, we were certainly pleased with the 80gr TTSX performance on deer too. Hopefully that was useful for you or someone out there tonight. Good luck with your rifle whichever way you decide. Dwayne Last edited by BC30cal; 05/03/16.

The deer just put a hump in their back, stumble a little and fall over like a paper doll in the wind. powdr
