[QUOTE="Nomosendero, post: 848164, member: 3622"] I think a 168 or the 175 LRX in a 308 case would be better as far as a wide wound channel is concerned. I understand a Barnes does not have to be as heavy as lead bullets to penetrate, I get that. But, if you use a heavier TTSX, the part that peels back is longer too & this would translate to a wider wound channel & greater terminal damage. besides, the wind drift difference is substantial & the trajectory can be plotted & the velocity does not drop too low at the max. distance that I would want to shoot a 308 at big game. I think the short TTSX makes sense only for lazor traj out to 400 or so in a round that has alot of vel., then the terminal effect would be fine. [/QUOTE]
