The 225 TTSX has a good BC(.514),because it is a monolithic bullet you will have great weight retention(sectional density after impact),starting out with a larger bore diameter. What's not to like about it! memtb You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel “I’d like to be a good rifleman…..but, I prefer to be a good hunter”! memtb 2024
