How did the 80 grain TTSX work for you?

I shot some of them in the Roberts and 25 WSSM, but never found an MOA load in proven MOA rifles.


It shot fine, but as I've noted before seating depth can really affect accuracy with mono bullets. But I couldn't see any real advantage over the 100 TTSX at 3100+, which Eileen has used with excellent results on game from pronghorns at 350+ yards to cow elk.
