Edit - trying my hand at ttxs in 308 and will be switching to trophy copper slugs for next year.
If you haven’t tried the 130gr TTSX. I’ve been able to load it to 3150fps. Lightening to 300yds. I haven’t been able to tickle a deer with it yet. Because there doesn’t seem to be any in this state anymore, but it should be good.

Nothing in that thread supports this statement-


The quartering shot taken with the 7 PRC and the poor performance of the factory load that was written up just a few weeks ago is a prime example - the mile the bull went after the shot would have been a monumental task to follow if it wasn’t for the snow. That would have been an easy killing shot with a bullet capable of better penetration and resulted in minimal tracking, but the bull made it a mile.

That’s what I got out of it. A quartering bull was shot. The elk made it a mile. Every year these situations come up and I find it funny that so many jump on the bandwagon to defend the bullet. A lot of talk about how great bullets are, but a hit slightly off or a bad angle and all the sudden it’s not the bullet’s fault. Lol

You guys have to work pretty hard to defend all the bullets - nothing wrong with that, everyone needs a hobby, just seems weird.
