Pappy348, I guess I didn’t read closely enough. A bad habit, always in too big a hurry! memtb

So i reloaded my bullets again and backed the seating off the rifling a little bit. What’s been your experience with that? Any better luck?

Buck, if you want to try the Barnes Vor-TX factory ammo, I have two boxes of their 165 gr TTSXs. A friend bought them by mistake and asked me to sell them for him. Just let me know.

Sheeeittt...... every bull elk and mule deer I ever shot with a 168 gr TTSX from my .300 Roy folded up like a rollaway bed as did those hit with 7mm Weatherby 150 gr TTSX. If someone’s bellyaching about TTSX or TSX performance, it is likely they have never used them or can’t shoot worth beans. JMO

Seating depth made all the difference! Shot a 3/4 in group!

How much shipped? I'm interested.

So I ended up shooting out at 200 and 300 yards and now feel really good about moving forward with the Edge TLRs. Still shot a 1.5 inch group at 300 yards. Last real test would be to just see what kind of performance it would have on a big boar hog at 300 yards and see what kind of wound channel and exit wound it would provide. Do you think that would be an adequate enough test for an elk? I live in Texas.

Absolutely, especially if you shoot him at a good angle. with all the dried mud, coarse hair, thick skin/fat , heavy muscles, decent size bones, they are a Very good bullet test! I'm a native Texan, left for the Ministry when I was 34, and grew up in East, Texas hunting everything. Saw many hogs killed and killed many hogs myself...they are pretty tough. I've killed them with .22 Magnum, .280, 30-06, .44 Mag carbine and 30-30. I've seen more hogs lost from Buckshot than anything else, and the 6mm Remington and .243 were OK if shot "right", of course. Give them a whirl, at least you will have more "in the field time" with a great rifle! ( Love my Mesa, just got another one in 6.5 Creedmoor! ) smile

I am also keen on Nosler, both Partitions and Accubonds. I also hold the TTSX bulletin high regard.

In the Noslers, I choose whichever is most accurate. In my .300 WM, it is the 200 grain Accubond ahead of 77.4 grains of RL26, Fed 215M, Winchester (older blue bag stuff). Gives me right at 3000 fps from 24 inch barrel. Like in the .270 and some other calibers, RL26 has been a game changer for me.

I use R17 for my 150TTSX/300WM and it too has been a great one. I also use R23/H4831sc/200NPT for 2800-2900 in my 300WM. I got 2930fps/160 Nosler/270Win with R26 too! Love these old & new powders!

You forgot to mention that the internals look like a blender passed through them.

Not that I have ever seen, although "blender" is subjective. The certainly do not shred internals like. Hornady Interloc or a Nosler Ballistic Tip.
And the certainly dont provide for large exit wounds either IME.
