[QUOTE="Bull_Mtn, post: 2218141, member: 105447"] I have had some experience with both the TLR and the Ascent. I have tried the 175 gr and 200 gr TLR with the 200 gr shooting the best in my .300 WSM Mod 70. I have killer 2 elk with the 200 gr TLR, one at 570 yds with the factory load, and one at 500 yds with a hand load. Both 1 shot kills, with outstanding terminal performance. When they came out with the Ascent, I again tried both weights. This time the most accurate was the 175 gr @ .5 moa. I killed a bull last season at 200 yds with this load, same results. I have found that Federals advertised B.C. is very accurate. I have never retrieved a bullet, all shots were pass through. The TLR/Ascent is one of the best hunting bullets I have ever used, I killed my first elk 67 years ago and have taken many more since then. I have never used a more consistent bullet. With that said, I have switched to the Hammer Hunter 181 gr bullet. The reason, uncertain availability of the Federal bullet. So far, I order the Hammer bullets and have them within a week. I have developed a load with the HH 181, that is a bit more accurate than the Ascent, and will be using on elk this fall. I have followed posts about the HH bullets and am confident they too, have excellent terminal performance. [/QUOTE]
