Looking at Barnes TTSX 80 gr. Or Hornady CX 90 gr. If you have an opinion on which projectile and load data it would be greatly appreciated!

Sighted 1 1/4" high @ 100 yards. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

Consensus from the reloaders group is Hammer bullets 67g for the 1-14” Have to play with the powder load… "Drop that or by the splendor of God I will blow your heart out."

How well does that bullet hold together when slammed into meat and bone at well over 3000fps (given if its driven at full tilt potential out of a .250-3000)? Dunno, why I'm asking. I would experiment in that regard before going afield with it. If you do that, I for one would appreciate a report. "You can lead a man to logic, but you cannot make him think."
