    I'm getting 3000fps with the 110gr TTSX from an 18" barrel. Using H335, can't remember powder weight though.

    If they shoot as well I'll use them. Anyone chronographed any in their 7mm08? Tikka barrel length.

    I was getting 3100 with the 120s in a 24" barrel and AR2208.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Has he used them on big reds do you know?

    12O TTSX Danny. He's taken big Reds in the pines with them.

    Yup, use them in my 708. Not my main round. I have 140g Berger zero at 100m and the ttsx have a point of 230m. Use them forums mentor boys when shooting their deer, they shot nine last week all but 2 were dead on the spot, the other two were spine shot and required another. But yeah the good for that

    How fast do these like going? Coming out of a wsm would be ok, or do you think they would be too fast? 180s are coming out at 2810fps
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone

    I have always wondered how they would go out of the .284. I normally push the 140's at 3085.

    The 120's would be flying. Would perhaps aid expansion.

    shit hot I would have thought, they do need the speed so out to 300 would be fine, (see barnes website for more info)
    Went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.
