[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 499280, member: 23486"] In my first post to this thread I believe this was one of the first things I talked about, 160grn 7mm. I wouldn't hesitate to say a full 90% of the failure reports I hear about are heavy for caliber bullets (especially 7mm for some reason in my experience). I tend to wonder of the rotational velocity of the 7mm >160 isn't high enough, which would in turn cause a lot of precession leading to deflection? I'm no ballistics expert by any means but it makes sense to me, the 7mm 140 MRX my partner shoots has yet to show any signs of deflection... Jim, you sure do have a head stratcher there, I don't get it, & I understand your concern (I would be!). As to the other posters, I do agree that the TTSX will eventually replace the TSX to a point (just as the TSX replace the original X), I would bet the 375 & up retain some of the TSX, i'm thinking of the new intros like the 350grn 375 TSX and such. Those bullets still have their place (i'm thinking africa). [/QUOTE]
