[QUOTE="Guest, post: 11211"] Gene Cole III, Last October I shot A Mulie and An antelope in Wyoming with my 7 STW. I used the Barnes XLC's (Blue Meanies!) because at that time there was no TSX to speak of. I'll tell you this, Mulie 216 Yards and Lope at 48 yards. Neither took a step. Dropped in their tracks. The terminal performance of this bullet is the best. You are not going to blow it up. The accuracy of the XLC's was pitiful. So I switched to 156 Cauterucios. The TSX just came out when I purchased the Cauterucio's or I would have tried them next. This was before the good reports on the TSX bullets and I wasn't about to try barnes again. I was very angry about passing up a 290 yard shot on a beautiful lope because these bullets were shooting so bad. If you can shoot TSX with good accuracy....do it! One note about the 7 STW. This is a fast 7mm. You may want to try the heavier bullets like 160's in order to improve accuracy. The 3600 FPS of the 140s might not be as accurate as the 3200-3300 fps of the 160. [/QUOTE]
