What do you think about these bullets, 180 gr? I am sure all are adequate for elk, but have people noticed differences in performance or accuracy? Aside from the A-frames being twice the price of the other two.
I shot elk with a 200 gr TBBC and 200 gr TSX and perhaps shouldn't mess with success...
No need to fix what isn't broke. (Not advice I heed much as I like to tinker�)
No experience here with TSX on game as I could never bring myself to try them after inconsistent and disappointing results with XLC bullets (blue coated X bullets). The newer tipped varieties have done nothing but please, including 100g TTSX in my .257 Roberts, 168g TTSX in my .30-06s and 180g MRX in my .300WM. Very accurate, front to back penetration with exit and the animals drop straight down or take a few stumbling steps.
My hunting buddy has used the older TBBC with good effect and I�d trust them for anything I do. Too bad they are no longer available as components as I think the newer tipped variety may be the best bullet on the market for my needs and wants.
Partitions work reliably but I�ve not been able to get the accuracy I can with other bullets.
A 120g A-Frame is my choice for my .257 Roberts during combined deer/elk season. Very accurate and the bonded front half is very much like a TBBC or North Fork, which I use a lot. Although I�ve not taken game with one yet, I expect performance very much like the North Fork bullets, which is to say �outstanding�.
The only place I use a Scirocco II is in my 6.5-06AI. Very accurate. Only one animal taken, a doe antelope, so the jury is still out. I�m still using them, though, and expect they will be fine.
