I hand loaded 95g partitions and 100g Hornady Interlock flat base and boat tails...fabulious on large 200+ lb deer.

this is a great factory bullet, for coming and going from any angle

Shots with deer walking away or coming to you can be tricky with some bullets. Partitions will never fail you even if you have to shoot them in the butt hole walking away from you!!!

The bullet is the cheapest part of the hunt.

Friends report great results shooting the 80g ttsx, but I have not shot them on deer or hogs.

For flat lands In OK, wide open spaces, years ago, all I shot was the 85g Speer btsp, great deer bullet, not a varmint bullet.
