[QUOTE="30calyooper, post: 1538099, member: 107258"] Yes, it sounds like we observed similar results with H-1000. Not a bad powder, but not quite one that you think about for long range work. Unfortunately it never worked out for me to get results on game with the 180 Swift Scirocco in this caliber, though I have spoken to others who advised me to consider this a deer bullet and NOT an elk bullet. Sounds like your experience would agree with this. Agree with you on the RL powders. 15 is quite useful in some older calibers like 300 Savage, and 17, 19, and 22 all have provided go-to hunting loads in a variety of calibers. As mentioned previously, RL-25 is my go-to for my 300 RUM elk load, and both 23 & 26 look like they’ll add to that list of pet loads. You mention the TSX...again similar experiences. Performance on elk was puzzling...punch-throughs without causing enough shock or tissue damage for clean & fast kills even though shot placement was more than adequate. After a couple of long chases that began with very reasonable shots, l stopped hunting with them. I’m told that the TTSX is better, but I haven’t gotten around to checking this out. You mention Peregrines. I’m not familiar with these...Can you point me in the right direction to check them out? [/QUOTE]
