    None. They get there super fast. But it is that noise when you tag a beast. Maybe it is a match made in heaven. Used to load 55gr TTSX for a mate but he hated them.

    Here's the noise. 150 grn TTSX, 300saum, 3150 fps. 250 yards. Looks like a slow kill, but it was deaded on its feet. Projectile just under off shoulder.

    On my calculations (taking your MV number as truth), you are getting 1 inch of drift per MPH of wind at 300m.

    That's considerable
