....One shot, and the ram stood instantly. As he was bedded and then stood, I wasnt 100% sure of the shot, so I sent another his way. This shot was a solid hit, and the ram stumbled at the shot. The ram was on his feet and slowly started walking. At one point, I noted that he'd likely make it to the dark shale slope, so when he paused on a flat spot and didnt seem like he was ready to fall, I shot again, killing him quickly. It was re-assuring finding 3 solid hits once the field dressing began. I was shooting a Rem Model 7 in 7 SAUM and 140gr TTSXs.

I'm guessing your muzzle velocity was at least 3000fps at muzzle, so at 330 yards you should have had more than optimal velocity for the ttsx to perform as designed.

Given your experience, would you use the 140 ttsx again, or would you use something a little softer that might have given a more dramatic reaction after the first shot? I guess my fear is that if they don't drop in their tracks you run a higher risk of them walking off a cliff, etc. and damaging their horns/cape/meat in the fall

Yep over 3000fps. I shoot the 140ttsx at pretty much everything and wouldn't change given the performance I have had on almost all game.

Great to hear. In preparation for my stone hunt next year, I have my 7mm rem mag dialed in with 140gr ttsx @ 3059 fps and am grouping 1/3 MOA out to 500 yards, so really didn't want to have to change anything!
