I had one like it. Sold it to build a Stainless threaded 20in. Mine shot 115 Fusions in a one ragged hole.

Nosler is making the 110 AB this month. They have been non existent for 2 years. The Hornady 120 SST works well also.

Ive been shooting my AR's in 6.8 alot
4 deer and a hog so far over the last 3 years

SST works great in 6.8 because the velocity is lower. Its a Hog hammer.

Some people hunt with 130's

This guy prefers the SST

I've owned two of the 6.8 Light Tactical 700, wish I had them back.

I would try the E-tip, Prohunter's shot well in mine.

The 130 grain Ballistic Tip is from the older stock, not sure how the jacket is on the newer models.

Perhaps a thread on how to hold, cut and finish sectioning a bullet like this? That is a very clean cut.

I dabbled a little with the 6.8, and still have a couple AR barrels & bolt. If someone wants them shoot me a PM, they will be reasonable. Think I'll probably work with a Grendel next.

FWIW, Nosler says the jacket and core of the BT are the same as the Accubond, just not bonded. Changes to the BT jacket over the years can confuse the comparison though.

So the 85TSX killed a deer last year, at 20 yards and it seems to be a harder bullet, so I have some 95TTSX I am shooting this year over benchmark.

Once again,go to 68forums. There is a huge database of bullet test in various test media including deer and hogs.btw the hornady 120 sstt is highly regarded as a deer and hog bullet. Or just continue to guess !!

Most of the shots made in this video were the same guy. He is a hog eradicator and uses the 120sst mainly...for good reason. They dump nearly all of their energy into the hog. It's best not to shoot a deer using the 120sst near any meat you want to keep.
Any of the Barnes bullet retain their weight and pass through, even length ways. Hornady GMX does the same.

I took your advice and looked at the 6.8 forum...it was a LOT of help developing a load and determining the right seating depth..I got instantly better results at the range...

I've settled on the 95gr TTSX over a max load of Rl-10 loaded to mag length. It's as accurate as anything I've ever shot in my AR.

If running the TTSX. PRI mags are the way to go in the AR platform they give more room for COAL.

I've had good luck with 90 gr Nosler bonded out of both my 20" AR and my 20" bolt gun I built out of a Savage donor rifle.

I averaged 3004 FPS out of the bolt gun with a medium load and the bullets touch each other at 100. A real fun gun to shoot, and easily my most accurate rifle.

Two shots, two bang flops. Nice 8 point for the AR, doe for the bolt gun.

I've since built a lighter weight 16" AR in .277 Wolverine and use that mostly, unless I might need to stretch out and reach them past 250.

Just took my caribou with 120 SST. It went two steps. No meat damage and my POF shoots them less than MOA. Also a very popular cartridge on the 6.8 forum with the hog hunters.

Shot a doe last year with the 123 SST from a 7.62x39 - launched from a Ruger #1, which gets a little faster velocity than an AK. The deer only ran 40 yards, but the bullet did not penetrate straight, which bothers me.

Maker is about to release all copper 85 and 95grn Tipped pills that have better expansion than the TTSX as well as a lower impact V expansion.

Looks really interesting for the 6.8 and priced at $33-36/50.

I've been shooting called yotes with a remmy 6.8SPC for a few years, and have been pretty happy with it.

havent tried many deer-class bullets as i wanted more splatter factor, and i mostly shoot Speer 90gr TNT's, which shot well for me with a stout load of H335.

however, I did get some Nosler 90gr bonded and some Federal 90gr bonded bulk, PM me your address & i'll send you some to try out...

[Linked Image]

last year i had it cerakoted it in Tungsten, and rattle canned the stock.

[Linked Image]

shot a couple of hogs with those 90gr TNT's, and headshots really rang their gong....no blood trailing required...

I like that treatment on your LTR! I switched the stock on mine to a B&C Mountain Rifle stock, and changed it up from an adl to bdl...

I've shot deer with both the Nosler 90 gr bonded, and the Gold Dot 90gr.

None went more than 50 yards after a heart/lung shot even with the lower velocities of the .277 Wolverine vs the 6.8.

I'm going to try the Gold Dot this deer season. I bought several hundred of the factory loads and my 16 inch Stag likes them.

From what I've seen on the 6.8 forums they perform pretty well.
