Looking for some real world experiences with this bullet of game as big as elk. I got a new rifle that shoots these into tiny groups, and getting a velocity of 3150. I have used the Barnes ttxs 120s with good results on elk but this rifle will only do about 1.5 inches with them. Let me know what you have killed with this bullet and how it worked for you,
Thanks,

Jump the bullet .050 from the Lands to start.
Try this load:
120g tipped tripple shock or Tsx
Rem brass
CCI 250 Primer
71-73g R#22
expect tiny groups when you get toward a max load, tiny. Remington 700's love this load
with the 140g ttxx
Rem brass
Rem 9 1/2
bullet seated .040 off the lands
64-66g of IMR 4350
Expect the bullets to be touching with the right powder charge
66-68g of R#22 with a cci 250 may give you the same small tiny groups
Note: 120g tsx will not stop in an elk, 90% of the time
We shot a lot of deer with the 120g nosler ballistic tip, they are tough, but half never go through the deer. They flop within 40 yards as their innards are blended.
When I did not know any better, I killed two big bulls with 140g nosler ballistic tips, the first lot out on the market. Jeez, they died in a hurry wth the 7 Mag Browning A bolt!
