[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1688292, member: 9308"] My concern with the TSX/TTSX is a 500 yard shot and a failure to expand. I love those bullets but more on close shots when the velocity is still high. The 130 grain TTSX recommended might still be going fast enough from that WSM to be viable. I favor Partitions for 500 yards and shorter (they aren't as aerodynamic for those long shots) and since you are looking to cut recoil (smart man!) I'd go with the 130 grain on those, too. But the 150s (which you already have) probably won't be too much worse. Hate for you to go buy "more" bullets when you already have suitable stuff on hand. The Accubond would be a great choice, too. I think I'd load these up and the Partitions and just go with whichever was more accurate. As for recoil, I vote NO on the muzzlebrake for a HUNTING gun. Too loud. Obnoxiously loud. Ridiculously loud. No one likes 'those people' at the gun range and if your wife has to snap off a quick shot without hearing protection, she is going to be unhappy. I got this for my wife when she shot anything with 'kick' to it and she loved it. (You already put the Limbsaver on, which is my other recommendation, so good job.)
