[QUOTE="Lovellr653, post: 2019937, member: 113949"] When I first switched to copper bullets (TTSX) it was with my 30-06, I kept my bullet weight the same as my lead loads at 180gr. This combo worked good but I didn’t realize until I started using 85gr TSX in a 243 for my wife and 120gr TTSX in my 260 that I didn’t need a heavy bullet to get the performance I wanted on game ( in my case whitetail) I am now working on a load for the 30-06 with a 150gr TTSX and expect it to work quite well. From what I gather from reading and first hand experience is to make sure the bullet impact velocity is enough to initiate expansion... I believe Barnes has this posted on their website, unsure about other companies as I have no experience with them. Good luck [/QUOTE]
