Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting South Texas & 130 TTSX

This is my last deer of the season. Live weight was 198# with zero fat, down probably 20 - 30 pounds from October.

Montana Rifle Company XWR-SS

Nightforce 2.5-10x42

.308 Win
130 Barnes TTSX 3080 MV
47.9 Varget
F210
Black Hills brass

Photos of the entrance wound are included for a good example of how rapidly the TTSX opens. The TTSX is my favorite bullet for deer and pigs, and all I use anymore.

The deer was quartering away. Shot placement was down 1/3 from the top of the back, behind the near side shoulder, out forward of the off side shoulder out the base of the neck. He dropped where he stood.
