[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2278810, member: 109862"] I always appreciate when people stick to options I’ve listed in my original posts so I’ll do unto others as I’d have them do unto me: of those options the 165 ttsx seems the wisest choice in my opinion. At true long range that changes but it seems a lot less stupid to try getting closer to an animal that’s too far for optimal performance than to try to get further away from an animal that’s too close haha 🤣. Plus the monometals ability to penerate adequately from just about any shot angle: you’d regret having to pass up the trophy of a lifetime because it wasn’t broadside and you weren’t confident the bullet could get the job done, or worse, you shot anyways and horrifically wounded a majestic creature causing a long and cruel death and tracking job. now that I’ve picked one of yours and explained my reasoning I just gotta say…everyone on here has nothing but good things to say about the hammers and they’re available. also, if you can find them, the federal trophy bonded tip and newer federal terminal ascent truly are the best of all worlds if your rifle shoots them well (my moneys on the trophy bonded tip for that). They open really well at low velocity and have no trouble busting through big ungulate shoulders at 3000 plus FPS. Probably what I’m going to choose for my own elk hunt this year, 180 grain in .300 Winnie. [/QUOTE]
