+1

We've been taking game with the TTSX since they came out and the MRX before that. Most animals have dropped straight down, none have gone more than a few steps. Confidence in them is high enough that I recommended a 130g @ 3045fps for Daughter #1 and her .308 Win. She will be using it for elk and antelope again this year. If she shoots an elk I doubt we'll recover the bullet as we haven't recovered one yet.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
