Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Tsx, 30-06, H4350

My experience with TSX/TTSX in all calibers is that they do indeed like a little jump and in most cases, a good crimp. The only exception is my 280AI, which doesn't shoot crimped bullets quite as well. Although the difference averages about 1.25" crimped vs .75" uncrimped. The recoil isn't bad, so crimping to reduce further bullet seating in the magazine is not necessary. If the mag/action length isn't limiting, I usually start at .050" and find the sweet spot there or very close. The ejection port on My Montana Ls requires deeper bullet seating to be able to extract unfired cartridges without a lot of gymnastics. My loaded rounds for the Ls are very close to OAL of factory loaded rounds. That certainly doesn't affect their accuracy and the bullets are well beyond .050" from the lands!
