Tom, Ive used that bullet many times on deer and such. Im perfectly comfortable with a 200 yard shot, but prefer not to do 300 unless conditions are ideal. I practice regularly at 200 and 300 for those "just in case" days..
Not to hijack, but what ranges are in your comfort zone for something like the Hornady 55 SP behind a shoulder, as opposed to the Barnes TTSX? Same-same?
Yeah they would be. But that bullet doesn't group as well. I'd really like 60gr NP to work but it doesn't like those either. I have some 62gr Hornady's but haven't got to loading them yet.
But now that we've used the 55gr TTSX on about 4 deer now, I'm probably not going to switch to something for hunting. They shoot tiny little groups at 100. And of the 3 WT and 1 Mule shot with them, only the Mulie moved from where it was shot. It ran 40 yards and poured blood the entire time.
