JJ, thanks for the reply. I'll try the 165 TSX's in my 300 win mag.
I must say that even though I shoot a 300 win mag, I am a bit recoil sensitive and I am prone to slow a load down until a I am comfortable with the recoil. I can probably stand the 165gr bullet at close to 3000fps without losing any field shooting accuracy.
It does pain me to shelve the partition, can't say that I have ever had anything like a bullet failure with it. The only thing I have ever wished for was an exit wound, but partitions just don't exit much.
