    I was using the TSX. They are very good killers, then I needed to be more tactical and shoot long range and have knobs and dials and stock packs and check rests and big scopes and long bits of stuff and extra weight and other cool stuff that I read about on the internet. The Barnes was not cool out to 1300m.
    I should have stuck with the Barnes.
    Run them fast and don't expect to recover meat from where you point them.

    I use the 110gr TTSX, only shot a few animals with them though. All the animals died well. They work, low recoil.

    I accept your 0 points and deduct a further 20 as I have taken all that shit off and now have a practical rifle (again).

    The 110? I have used the 130 in 308. I would guess these 110 would be fast and mean at around 3000+fps.
    Has he used them on big reds do you know?

    One of the biggest red stags he has shot, from a decent distance too was shot with the 110TSX.

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