[QUOTE="fordy, post: 3010906, member: 120504"] Gday 308_Brandon So when you break this down the following is how I look @ things & is from the most reliable outcome off my data sheets that has contained a fair number of critters ( not as high of a base as some of my numbers with some pills but still a very good number representation imo that patterns have shown up with those particular pills I won't quote numbers these days here as that causes friction with a few so I'll just steer clear of that sorry ) on various impacts angles & resistances got the 600 max thanks I didn't catch your average shot so I'll assume around 300 based off a couple polls I've seen I used 2 of the eldx factory ammo 178&200 off the hornady website calculator & vortex 180ttsx off jbm icalculator So breaking these down Once again before I get a few in here in a huff over the following I am looking for the most consistent pill which includes various resistances various impacts that I believe happens in hunting situations , well they have shown to me it does happen but some others that have a different view that's cool & good on them Moving forward the most consistent pill is going to be the 180ttsx as @ the most likely assumed impact range of 300 your still in a very good impact velocity window with that pill & really it's not until you get to around the 360 yard mark that the ttsx starts to show it's starting to drop off quickly from a preformance level that gives us the animal reactions & not until you get to around the 500 mark this drops off a lot quicker & by 565 to 600 expect way longer impact to tip especially on low resistance & the did I hit that critter reaction or lack of it that shows up way more on these velocity impacts & the ttsx more so The other one you won't have any concerns with is as due to mountain hunting is if a elk comes up or down & presents a close shot sub 100 don't be concerned as that ttsx will get through no issues on the whole ( I'll leave the ever so subtle issues with polymer tips that both the ttsx & eldx have But that's for another day Hope that helps & just my position others have theirs & ultimately yours will be final & wish you the best on what you choose & please report back on how things went once you secure your critter Cheers [/QUOTE]
