243Win 85gn TSX
25-06 and 257Wby 100 TSX
270Win 140 TSX (this would be my workhorse of workhorses)

I'm waiting on a nice cool/calm morning/day to confirm loads for my 257Wby and 1:8 Kimber 270Wn utilizing Badlands Bulldozer II .257 95's and .277 140's. I plan to have one of them in-hand during our deer season this fall.
