Thread: 308 with ttsx - 110 vs 130

Yep I ran the 130ttsx at a bit over 3200fps from 22" shot quite a few reds with it the furtherst being around 350y, over 250y I had slightly delayed kills and used a Amax load for open country.
Never recovered one in over 30 reds shot tho I did recover the blue plastic tip once.
They need impact velocity to work good.

Yes for sure the hardest hitting bit once it slows down I had the same with slower kills especially on reds. I'll try find some photos tomorrow. A fallow buck I shot at 150y had a beer can entry hole hit then a red yearling in the vitals at 250y was still very alive when I got up to it. Have since gone to 168eldms since moving South.
