    I use Nosler 55gr balistic tips with 2206h doing about 3100fps.

    Took a deer at about 160m on Saturday.... It absolutely smashed her third vertabrae and dropped her where she stood.

    I waited a good 5 minutes before I felt the shot was on.

    Good-o Pete.
    The 55 ttsx seem to work for me ok...

    Looks good to me.

    Might even give them a go myself.

    Complete pass through at 200 yards on both of them. Devastating.
