my pard HUGH from the 'fire was developing a load for my 243 and caught this 80 grain TTSX. here's what it looks like after going through 8" of a walnut log.

Cool - what does it weigh?

Did you find a good load for that bullet....been thinking of trying it????

79.7 grains. got it to shoot 1.25" at 200 yards good enough.

That would sure knock a whitetail down!!

Gotta love those TTSX bullets................Hb

Here's what the same bullet looks like after going through a mule deer at 50 yards. Recovered against the hide on the off side.

You can make porkchops in Tennessee with that load rockchuker,

I have a fairly good pile of bullets in my bullet box that look just like that one. Most relaible game bullet going, IMO.

Time to take that rifle hunting now, eh?

Who'd a thunk it possible?

A bullet that, based on my experience in multiple rifles as well as the experience of others:

A) Is affordable,

B) Is accurate,

C) Seems to expand reliably,

D) Holds together for deep penetration, and

E) Provides a very high percentage of straight down results?



By "accurate", I mean capable of hitting clay pigeons at 600 yards, something I've done with multiple rifles/cartridges and TTSX/MRX bullet weights. I say "seems to expand reliably" because I've never recovered one. By "deep penetration" I mean exits every time I've used or seen one used, including front to back on a mule deer I shot with an MRX. By "very high percentage of straight down results" I mean ~75% (every mule deer and all but two antelope, neither of which went far).

i use the 120 in my swede and have killed the schit out of stuff with them.
this is the first " caught ". got some 120's i dug out of the limestone screenings back stop i shoot into. their not pretty, but i'll post them tonight.

That one looks just like the two regular 30 calibre 168 gr TSX bullets I've recovered over the years from a Moose and a Zebra.

Excellent bullets.
