Brad I've never used the 168 TTSX, I simply refrenced the OP's load he has worked up for his .308 Win. Last year was the first time I've hunted with a .308 Win, and I'll be honest I had a little over a month to get it ready for the hunt after I got it back from my smith. I really wanted to hunt with my suppressor so I rushed some things before my elk hunt.

While I can and do reload I used factory ammunition for the hunt. I tried a few brands PPU, Hornady, Winchester, and Barnes as time was short until my hunt and I wanted to shoot more than be at the reloading bench. The Hornady American Whitetail 150 grain probably shot the best by a small margin over the Barnes. However, I decided to go with the Barnes thinking the monometal construction would give me a penetration advantage.

I got an elk so it all worked out, but I do think I was too much in the margins.
