Hell yeah Gitem, I have the exact same rifle, EVERYTHING so far has went right down with the 200 gr TSX's, I had concerns of them not opening at a lower velocity of only 2700 fps at extended hunting ranges.
I was wrong, they have performed perfectly on light game [deer/pigs] out to just over 200 yards so far.
Just got in from hunting out in the snow and ice with mine a few minutes ago, the all weathers are GTG for any weather condition, enjoy that rifle, I sure like mine.
Gunner We used the 200 gr TTSX launched at 2650 fps from a pre-64 M70 carbine on a couple of handfuls of critters, large and small, last summer in Africa and the bullet performed perfectly. 10-4, Thanks ED, I have two boxes of the 200 gr TTSX's to try as soon as I get about 20 more loaded rounds with the TSX's shot up.

Off the hind legs. Jumped the deer out of a thicket. And missed when the deer zigged and I zagged. Settled down on the second shot and at about 75 yds. It was DRT. Not perfect shot placement, as the bullet hit a bit far back, but not a lot of meat damage and as I said earlier, Bang-flop ] ![[Linked Image]](http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b489/jrobb400/FEB4299C-38B4-47A5-B716-DCCF091D4F99-20487-00000DB8FA5DFA7F_zps64a19ccb.jpg) Congrats - that one will eat good  I resolved to shoot a mature doe yesterday morning, but of course only saw fawns and young bucks, so they all walked

Gunner The one and only recovered after passing a diagonal longitudinal path through a hog. This a 200 yard shot. The exit where we cut the slug out is clear. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/Africa320.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/Ericiphoneafricapics333.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/Ericiphoneafricapics332.jpg) This one dropped at just shy of 400 yards and the bullets clearly expanded and he dropped at the shot.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/Ericiphoneafricapics272.jpg)

The young man there done some fine shooting, also good to know the TTSX's opened out to near 400 yards, should I ever be presented a longish shot while toting my 358W I can take it with confidence. Gunner
