Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Can this Elk rifle be beat?

Thanks guys.

Gunner, the TTSXs are what they are. Nosler makes normal and Long Range Accubond bullets, but Barnes doesn’t. Barnes makes an LRX, but they don’t seem to compare to the Noslers, and no one loads them in my cartridge

Nosler loads 225gr AB in the .340, but they are about 200 fps slower than the Corbon 225g TTSX loads. It is interesting that the 225gr .338 TTSX bullet is the only TTSX bullet that exceeds .0500 BC of all calibers.

I shot the DPMS .308 today (while cooling my 14-yr-old son’s rifle while he was practicing offhand and from a shooting stick). It shoots better with the 168gr ABLR loads than I would have expected when I bought it.



For an out-of-the-box $1,300 .308 AR, I am fairly happy.
