I've used the 130 grain TTSX in the 30-30 at around 2400 fps using RL7 and the 150 TSX FN at 2150 fps using WW 748. Both performed well although I can tell that the 130 TTSX is at the lower end of its velocity window out at 100 yards or so. I have used the 150 TSX FN out of a Contender 30-30 pistol and it opens up well at the lower velocities. So it may perform better than you think out to 200. I have also toyed with the idea of using the 110 TAC-TX in the 30-30. Having used a lot of the TSX bullets in higher velocity cartridges, I have seen where petals can fall off but they tend to do so well after expansion begins and often aid in the killing of the animal. The remaining slightly expanded shank does a lot of damage on its own.
