150g Accubond or 150G TTSX??

[TX97]

Taking my 16" .308 next week for 1st rifle in Co. Trying to decide which bullet to use. Probably over thinking it but would like to hear some feedback. Both 150g rounds shoot sub MOA, the Buffalo Bore TTSX is right at 2710fps and the Accubond rolling in at 2605. Furthest shot anticipated is only 300. I'd like to use the 165g Federal Trophy Bonded Tip but it's only pushing it 2500 fps. Any and all feedback is appreciated.

They will all work. With only a few days before the hunt, plenty of other things to consider/plan/pack. Good luck.

Yeah. You’re wayyy overthinking it. Shoot your animal and be happy .

I shoot both bullets and prefer the AB. Both are really good bullets.

My experience with solids and Elk, TSX and Hammers, was at mid 3400's fps. I believe in light for caliber when using a solid and personally, between the two and at your speed, I would use the Acubond.

308 and a 150 Nosler Accubond in the 300 yards range has put down a lot of elk in my family.

TTSX you may lose an Elk. .308 took 4 shots to the boiler room.

150gr ttsx is one of the harder barnes .30 cal bullets, ie it requires more velocity to expand than some other weights, and realistically may not carry enough velocity even to 300 yards. Try 130gr ttsx or go with accubonds.
