[QUOTE="Charles A, post: 221402, member: 231"] Am curious as to the animals in North America that a 130gr all copper bullet, that retains 100% of it's weight is to light for? One would have a tough time keeping a 130gr X in anything, from any angle, and putting one through bone isn't tough. While the original Barnes X and maybe to some extent the TSX, may have had problems with expansion, the TTSX will not. Per Barnes the BC for the 308 130gr TTSX is .350, however actual firing says it' more like .420. At 3500fps it drops below 1,800fps past 800 yards (the expansion threshold is around 1,600fps for the TTSX's). It takes less then 22 minutes to get to 1,000 and has less then 8MOA wind drift at that range given a 90* 10mph wind. One can shoot whatever they want, and I realize it's taboo to go against the 9-something million BC thing here, but that load will work, and it will do somethings better then a higher BC/slower MV will....
