[QUOTE="scfam, post: 1194978, member: 80956"] Whatever range that you 1) can accurately hit the deer, 2) keep over 1800 fps, and 3) be above 1000 ft lbs energy. A long way with that load. However, the TTSX isn't really the sweetest deer bullet. Look at a Nosler Ballistic tip at 140 grains. Your 120 will slow way too fast and be anemic at longer ranges. The problem with the TTSX is it will fail to open enough at lower velocities and if it doesn't hit something solid, something like using a full metal jacket. It will work, but you need to keep velocities up. If you want to reach out further on deer stick with a more frangible bullet. Actually **** near any expanding lead/copper bullet will be plenty for deer with your rifle. The Barnes bullet would be a better option for elk, where penetration is needed. , [/QUOTE]
