    Ran 130ttsx out of 22inch 308 for quite a while and claimed many deer sub 350y with it.

    In my experience the barnes need fairly high impact speeds to work well (light for cal going like f) and will kill at med/longer ranges but delayed kills are a reality as they just turn into a super apple corer at lower speeds and dont transfer any shock...hence i wouldnt recomend any heavier than 130gr from 308win...even 110g.

    I have shot all manner of big red stags red/wap crosses from all angles and have still never recovered a 130gr barnes...extra weight is wasted...it is not a long rage pill so forget about bc. Velocity and energy/shock is how these work.

    308 ttsx

    @Pongo12 I have a similar set up but shooting 125 accubonds with 2206h instead. Shoots real tight out of my 17" dpt supressed t3. Haven't chronographed it yet or tested it on game but I know @akaroa1 rates the 125 accubonds and has bowled a few over with them.

    I'm only running 47.5gr at the moment which isn't max and using CCIs I think.

    Why use a small expensive monolithic trendy bullet?

    Speer hotcore 150 gn at $55 per box of 100

    2206H 45-46gn for 2700-2800

    Had some failures on animals with TTSX...no issues with lead cores

    How far could you reach out with that projectile?

    Heres some super quick and extremely rough data pulled from Strelok.

    150gr Hotcor .389bc doing 2700fps = 43inchs drop at 400 with 1064ft/lbf and 1788fps

    125gr Accubond .366bc doing 3000fps = 34inchs drop at 400 with 1074ft/lbf and 1967fps

    If you're dialling, the difference is neither here nor there. I could be/This could be completely wrong and inaccurate so someone please correct me.
