I could get by with a 180gr TTSX out of my 300 H&H, or 130gr TTSX from my 270's.
I do not have enough experience with 7mm or 6.5 on game to make a choice, but I imagine a TTSX would not be wrong there either.
so far this year we have used:
300gr 375 TSX 5 African critter
400gr 423 TSX 1 cape buffalo
130gr 277 TSX 1 bighorn sheep and deer
180gr 338 NAB 1 deer
150gr 277 NPT 1 elk
100gr 277 NAB 1 deer
130gr 277 Hornady IL 1 deer
100gr 243 Factory blue box federals 2 deer
255gr RMS gear Cutthroat broadheads 2 deer

For the lower 48.....300 win, 200 grain accubonds cover all bets. It's become my "go to" combination for Idaho deer and elk.
Toss in Alaska, and I'd go with a 338 rum, with 225 grain accubonds. It's also a hammer on African plains game.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

For everything I’m going to hunt, a .284” 120 grain Ballistic Tip or a 120 grain TTSX. If only allowed one, it’d be the TTSX.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Pending on my needs, nosler partition. AccuBond or Barnes LRX nothing else. By the way, this is for hunting only.

.223-62 gr. Barnes TTSX in my AR/50 gr. Nosler BT in my CZ 527
.257- 90 gr. Barnes X bullet ( no longer in production) I'm going to try the 90 gr . Interbond when I run out of the Barnes
.277- 130 gr. Barnes TTSX
.264-130 gr. Swift Scirocco
.284-140 gr. Barnes TTSX or 140 gr. Accubond
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

Likely, if I could pick only one, I'd pick a 200gr Partition in 30 cal. I could hunt the world with that out of an '06.
But why would I limit myself to one bullet? In 30 cal alone, I load for 4 guns, using over 2 dozen different bullets, including 11 different cast bullets. I'll never understand you "one bullet" guys.
I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.

285 or 286 Swift or Woodleigh .366
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Hornady interlock spire point. Whatever dia. At this point in time Id have to say the .277 150 grain. Just as an " in case". The 130 is probably all I would ever "need". Boxed by the 100. Affordable. Practice,hunting,one and done.
