Bought like the difference between the .22 short and the .22 LR. Both will work if conditions are "perfect", but niether is "right " prop How many large whitetails have you killed? Over 225 in weight and 160-180 score wise, age 6-8 years old?

The heavy weights work better with the 1-8 twist?

They ALL work in the 1 in 8 twist�take your pick.Im shooting 55 TTSXs in my 1 in 8
Extra weight does not necessarily equate to extra penetration with TTSXs, Ive shot a literal ton of game with the 50 grainers, and never recovered one�.

55 and 60 gr. horns work and so do 64 pp�.but Id be a tad skeered of a conventional CNC bullet in a 1 in 8. Mine spun a petal off a TTSX going through a javelinas tiny little brain. Petal ended up in a shoulder, rest of bullet still flying around somewhere I suppose�.

Ive shot lots of critter with TSX and TTSX out of a 308 and only recovered one, which went through 4 feet of wild boar. Ill try the 55 gr TSX bullet and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestions.

I'd UBER say heavier always trumps lighter because the 53's and 55's have been recovered by this guy at less than UBER range. GFY. Travis
Trump being classless,tasteless and clueless as usual. Sorry, trump is a no tax payin pile of shiit. My young wife decided to play the field and had moved several dudes into my house

Tom is right just about everything works in a 1-8". I've used the following. 53 TSX 55 TSX 55 Sierra GKHP 60 partition 63 Sierra SMP 64 nosler bonded 64 power point 65 Sierra GK 75 swift Funny thing is they all worked fine in my 1-8". Lately I've been using the 64 Nosler's the most.
