308 Win with 130 grain TTSX

[tikkafanboy]

Hi,
I decided to try a new load combo for CA deer (next year) and wonder if anyone has any experience with 130 grain TTSX's in a 308 Win? Tried to search this forum but didn't find anything. I've decided to save the Varget and 4064 i have on hand and experiment with IMR 3031. The ballistics look interesting for the round if i can find a group at 3K or better. 400 yards would be max range. Thoughts or experiences shared are welcome. Thanks, Jeff

TAC works for me in my 308 and other family members as well. Got up to 3285 fps but the 130 ttsx shoots best for me around 3180. I laugh when people say it's too light to use on large game . That bullet will go through a moose like butter and kill Like lightning. Only get into trouble when you don't watch your impact velocity, need to keep it above 2000

Yes
I’ve settled for a load around 3170 fps, for me using TAC (50.4 grains)
Out of a 20” barrel.
I had tried up to 51 grains and was getting averages out to about 3210 but I was not grouping well and was getting some pressure signs.
I may try up to 50.7 and see how that goes this spring but I’ve got a good proven load now and took a nice Buck (for me) at 270 yards this past fall DRT.
