Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles If you could pick just one bullet what would it be

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.

If you look close, you could probably see it in this picture...

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.

For my wife’s rifle......338 cal. 225 TTSX
For my rifle.... .375 cal. 295 TTSX ( which is not produced....yet).....until then, a 250 TTSX. memtb

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

150 gr. Partition .308 diameter out of 30-06, 30-30 AI and 308.

depends on which weatherby I am using

.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

Anywhere north of 2,850 suits me. Great bullet.

100 grain Nosler Partition in my 6mm-06.

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.

285 or 286 Swift or Woodleigh .366

.30 Cal 168gr TTSX for big game smaller than big bears or DG in Africa.

.375 Cal 270gr TTSX for the big stuff.

1st choice for me ..... 200 gr Nosler Partition 30 cal pushed at 3000 FPS 😁

I guess you’d really struggle with one rifle/caliber hunters then! memtb

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.
