[QUOTE="ResearchinStuff, post: 2747048, member: 67843"] I've shot 3 deer at <100 yards with the 165 TSX, 300 win mag, a 24" barrel, and full power reloads, impact velocities over 3000. Bullet expansion and tissue damage was minimal for all three, that bullet seems to be extremely hard. One bullet went through 5 ribs then the heart on a quartering away shot, the wound through the heart was very narrow, I couldn't even fit my pinkie into it. Exit holes have been small, and the holes through the vitals have been unimpressive compared even to a broad head. I would absolutely not run that bullet out of a short 308 for anything other than paper or as a fur saver on coyotes. The smk issues have already been pointed out. Something like this would be ideal imo, and they're pretty cheap. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bluecollarreloading.com/collections/sierra/products/sierra-30cal-150gr-sbt-2125[/URL] [/QUOTE]
