A few years ago I bought a 300 Savage in a 99 Savage. The most accurate hand-load matched the accuracy of the Remington factory load - that was with 130 TTSX’s. I tried a lot of loads with that rifle. I bought a 308 since then. The most accurate load was with 130 TTSX’s. I tried quite a few loads in that rifle too. This summer I dug out an ADL 30-06, the most accurate load I tried with that rifle was about .65 MOA, the bullet 130 TTSX’s. I didn’t try many other loads after those TTSX groups. I may be trying that bullet and rifle on whitetail in a couple months. For years I have tended to be using a heavy for the caliber bullets, well most of the time. I’ll see how things work this year. I wonder how the TTSX 130 grain bullet would work on elk out of an ‘06. That load had a noticeably less recoil than the 180’s I normally use. Though I find the 180’s pleasant enough.

I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally
