Federal Edge TLR performance on big game? #12665941 02/23/18

Was shooting it yesterday and with Barnes Vortex 168 TTSX factory loads, it was shooting MOA. Switched to the new Federal Edge TLR 175 grain factory loads and it consistently shot sub MOA. My question relates to the performance of the Edge TLR on game. Does anyone have any experience with this bullet on game animals? If so, how did it perform. Thanks!

They shoot good in my 300 WSM but I didn’t have a chance to do a flesh test this fall Originally Posted by shrapnel I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle.
