    Good results with the 130's on all sorts of game including sambar, the more resistance the better they work. The only issues I had were on small light skinned animals past 300y. I got 3010fps from an 18" barrel. The 130ttsx and the 168gr eldms have worked the best for me performance wise.

    Love the 130s purely based on their accuracy through my 308. Devastating effects on animals in close and good killing power at long distances. Running around the 2950fps for me, yet to push them onto an animal beyond 200 but I tell you at 40m it’s leaving huge holes as they exit.

    2208 will be too slow to get the best out of the 110s.

    I was over 51grns with the 130 and it is real tricky to get more than that in and very compressed load.

    2206h or h335 will be much better.

    Think I know where some h335 is so will check and go from there

    100% understand the need to tinker do tell as I am wanting to throw some down the 7mm for shit and gigs I gave them a very very quick uneducated look in .308 long ago cant remember the weight but I never chased the load after initial few shots the lightest I can find for 30cal at the moment is 168ish weight range to big for my little gun

    I bought a sako 308 20 inch barrel years ago, and it came with a pile if these. I purely used them as a Bush load at about 2900fps and I had the best results I've had out of any projectile in regards to instant kills. Personally I rate them for this sort of work but never tried them out beyond about 100m.

    The projectile above was a 130grn ttsx found under the skin on opposite shoulder of a sika stag.

    I have àn unopened box of 130 TTSX bought about seven years ago that I'd sell for $75 delivered. Never did get around to trying them.
