Just to give an update on my first experience with this bullet Shot a deer at 70 yards. Perfectly broadside. Impact was right behind the shoulder. Quarter size entrance wound. Exit was slightly lower (shot from elevated position) but right behind opposite shoulder Exit wound was...

Dave, Thanks. I like to try new bullets for deer hunting each year. Been through several different brands and types. This is my first foray into the "non-lead" area. It seems each new one i try, i'm always a bit skeptical until I actually see results

Thanks for the reply. Like i said it's a new bullet for me. I'd like to work up a load that gets it closer to around 3150 or so but i just don't have the time. Gun season starts in 2 weeks. and i really only have 1 range day left

I recently purchased Barnes TTSX bullets. They are 140g for a 7mm Rem Mag. They will be used for WT deer at ranges from 30 to 150 yards When working up a load for this bullet i found i am getting groups of just under .6 @ 100 fairly consistently. I am using federal cases, 66.5g of RL22...

For paper from 300 to 600 I've been shooting 100g SGK's for deer out of my 243Win with nice results (quick kills) to 200 yards My range has now opened up a 600 yard shooting area. I topped the 243 with 6 x 24 scope and would like to shoot paper in our fun shoots from 300-600 yards Local...

checked on the specs They say click value at 100 yards = 1/8" I believe i now understand the concept in general. Simply put, 1 click has a greater effect the farther you get from the gun. I look forward to actually seeing this in pactice . Again, i am used to just estimating holdover...

Mikecr, I'm not sure if it's measured by IPHY or MOA. I will read the manual tonight and see if it states one or the other Either way thank you for the information

No, not chicks, no one can do that.. I just mounted my first LR scope I used a program by BIGGAMEINFO to try and help understand how to dial in my yardage My info: 7mm Rem Mag MV 2987 Nosler BT 150g BC .493 1.5 scope height 100 yd Zero 1/8 inch clicks Shooting at 600 yards It shows...

I belong to a gun club that has a 400 yard range. Ive been doing OK with my 3-9 Nikon Prostaff. NOW, they have opened up a 600 yard range. The game has changed I have a 7mm Rem Mag. Finances dictate that this gun will be used for hunting and target shooting at the range I am looking for a...

I started reloading/handloading last year. I love shooting but it became somewhat boring shooting the same darn bullet downrange all the time and nothing being different other than shooting distance. Now....holy moley. I can shoot a different bullet brand, bullet style, bullet weight...

Nice place there...Are those Athena speakers in your TV room?

CZ, Thank you for sharing your experience with these bullets

My current hunting load for whitetail in my 243win is a Sierra Gameking 100g It.s running right at 3000 fps I've been wanting to tinker with a new load and am intrigued by the Barnes TSX @ 85g all of my shots when using this particular gun and load will be under 200 yards with most under...

Thanks for the replies guys. So there is no damage to the throat when a bullet has to jump long distances before it gets there?

I am loading 168g Berger VLD's in my 7mm RM hunting rifle (Rem 700 ADL) I began seating the bullet at the max length that would reliably feed from my magazine. Eventually, I was able to get decent accuracy with a jump of .142 from the lands. In fact, the accuracy was very consistant at this...
