I'm a fan. Shocker, I know! I will say the 160 TTSX zipping along at 3050 or so is a very effective killer. I am surprised there isn't a Federal factory load with the 160. Maybe Federal not loading Barnes as much?? That may have had more consumer appeal. Hard to say. It certainly is not a commercial success, but being Federal's cartridge I think ammo will remain available. Note to Federal: a 160ish Trophy Copper or Trophy Bonded Tip at 3000fps would be pretty cool!
I have a pile of 180 Accubonds I hope I can get to shoot well in a new PAC NOR barrel that is on the way. Those at 2800+ should be good medicine.
Each year I struggle to pick a bullet for hunting. This year I'd like to get the 180 or 200 ABs to shoot really well. Elk have failed to cooperate when I had 210 Partitions chambered, but the 185 and 160 TTSX did exceptional and the 180 BT worked.
