[QUOTE="Willybuck, post: 1925421, member: 113591"] I started using the blue coated TSX 180 grain bullets in my 300 Weatherby for an African plains game Hunt in 2003. It is a 1/14 twist German made Mark V that is Magna Ported. Great performance on game up to gemsbok, wildebeest and kudu. One shot game down. I used them back home on deer, elk and bears. Switched to the 150 grain TTSX (with the grooved sides) in 2010 and have had great performance on deer and sheep out to 550 yards. It knocks them off their feet if it hits heavy bone (spine) or they take a few steps if shot through the lungs / heart area. I use a mild load of H-4831-SC for 3250 fps. Not much recoil and flat shooting. I zero at 320 yards and can hold on top of the animals back For shots out to 400 yards. I use an elevation turret for shots out to 600 yards. My Practice range is 616 yards so haven’t tried past that. [/QUOTE]
