Combo for me is really useful as the 140's are bang on at 100 in the x ring and the Amax's 2 inches high at 100 and bang on at 220-250 where they'd do the most damage anyway. So for me its relatively simple then to stick my dope sheet on my stock for longer shots but my first round in the gun magazine is a TSX, reason being it gives me a go to round for the shit just popped up in front of me animal - whilst if its further away I can either use the TSX or decide to set up and shoot for a shot further away.

May sound a bit weird as a mix but it works for me - especially knowing the POI differentials for distance of the two rounds.

Pretty sure thats how VC rolls too. Good idea I reckon
