[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2643214, member: 122164"] In my Ruger 77 mark II boat paddle, I went to a 110g Barnes ttsx, and never recovered a bullet from all angles quartering coming and going. 58g of Win 760 with 9 1/2 primer 57.5g of R#17 with a fed 210 3300 fps Bullets seated .050 off the lands, not a hard bullet to tune. Deer flop on the spot, as a rule, lots of shock to the innards Accuracy with this TTSX and also the same loads in a Sierra 110g Pro hunter is astounding to say the least, but on quartering shots with the 110g Sierra, you do not get an exit. 140g Noslers with 58g of H4831, win brass, cci 250 shoots 3/8" groups in my rem 700 with the bullets touching the lands. 140g Hornady btsp with the same load shoots 5/8" with both of these 140's being fabulous deer killers. The 110g Barnes ttsx at 3300 will out-penetrate a 140g cup and core on length-wise shots. I shoot the 130g Hornady flat base, 60-61g of H4831, cci 250...never had any hint of a failure on deer and hogs. I prefer the flat base over the bt version as I think they hang together better. Brothers have killed many deer with the sierra 130g btsp, never any kind of problem...never. No doubt that the 150g Hornady flat base is an elk bullet, no doubt! Brother has a couple of 270's that prefer this bullet over 130 and 140g bullets to shoot 3/8" groups and less...hogs make for great bullet testing medium. [/QUOTE]
