[QUOTE="358 Guy, post: 1973731, member: 60067"] I've had very good luck with the 168 and 180 gr. Barnes TTSX. My rifle box is a bit on the short side also. but as bullet seating depth is not as critical with these bullets, my accuracy is as good, or better than some of the other more conventional bullets that I have tried. My last elk was shot at 567 yds. using the 168 gr. TTSX. Performance was excellent, with both deep penetration and a wide wound channel. The bullet struck low behind the front leg taking out both lungs and breaking the leg on the off side. I have been using this bullet for 15 yrs. now, and not had any type of failure. I shot a cow 2 years ago at 55 yds.. It was a front quartering shot that struck her low in the chest, traversing both lungs and the top of the heart. She dropped at the shot, and the bullet was not recovered. A word of caution though, this bullet will not take out both shoulders of an elk, but the 180 will. A good friend and hunting partner, tried using the 200 gr. TSX but found that it did not expand reliably at longer ranges. [/QUOTE]
