No lack of expansion here.... https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...ger_1_International_Who_has_#Post3091822A great deer bullet which seldom gets mentioned, is the 130 Speer, either version. I would just load 140 ABs or 150 BT and rock on, but if shooting closer shots, a faster lighter 110 to enhance expansion. No doubt, the 139 dropped a few animals for me and a C/C is plenty good if not needing to go unleaded. It was the bullet Rem loaded in their original "Corelokt" ammo

I load the 110TTSX for two guys I hunt with. Both shoot it at 3,200fps from their 20" Model 7SS 7mm-08 rifles (RL15). The load is quite accurate in both rifles with very little tinkering/development, and it has worked really well on everything they've pointed it at. We've yet to catch a bullet. To be fair, everything has been inside 250yds so far. One of the rifles wears a free-floated H-S handle and shoots around 3/4MOA. The other is one of the new Model 7 rifles with the lightweight injection-molded handle and it shoots almost as well. Factory Superformance 139gr SST loads shot like crap in that one, plus they recoiled a lot more. So the 110TTSX may be a viable alternative for those who maybe haven't been able to get the 120 to shoot or maybe are looking for a touch more speed. That bullet/load was responsible for the majority of the meat in the back of my Tacoma a few weekends back.....  ![[Linked Image]](http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g7/JPro1978/Kill%20zoom_zpsjqk1atkg.jpg)

What's the max load for Big Game and the 120 TTSX out of a 7mm-08, and what's the corresponding velocity? 22 1/2" barrel.

Pharmseller, I started at 47.5 gr. of BG and worked up in half a gr. Increments up to 50.5 gr. Then I backed off to 50.0 where velocity is 3180 fps. Accuracy was acceptable at about an inch and a quarter for three shots (repeatable), but accuracy in my Cooper was better with RL 15. I haven't tried BG in my Montana yet; waiting on the weather. Cooper is a 22" barrel.

I will add that the above loads were with Remington brass. I got some of the new Lapua brass and got roughly the same velocity with 48.5 gr. of Big Game. Lapua brass is a little thicker, therefore less powder produces the same pressure and velocity.

Speed kills, especially with monometals... DF

DF, that's my thoughts, inside around 300 yds, in a mono I would run a 110, a 120 I would stop at 400yds, then bump to 139 or heavier.
