I'm going to do something similar again in a few days. There's a few planned changes; for instance the calibers will be .270 Weatherby and 7-300 Win. Bullets are 140 NBT, 140 Accubonds (3360), 130 Sciroccos (3500) and (prepare to be horrified, you have been warned) 7mm 180 Hunting VLDs.(3150) Not a copper bullet in the mix.
Was hoping you were going to try the 100 gr TTSX instead of the 80 in the .257 bee
I think one needs to balance S.D. with velocity. If you push a low S.D. mono at hyper velocity, some strange things may happen on WT sized game, may be OK on varmints.
An 80 TTSX at 3,600 fps out of my .240 blew a huge, gaping hole in the chest wall of a WT doe, unimpressive chest cavity pass thru with min internal damage and a delayed kill.
I like S.D. > .2, pushed at warp speed. So, IMO, the 100 Barnes would be a better choice than the 80 in that gun at full speed on WT's. May not matter on hogs or varmints.
IMO based on my observation.
