[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 3055684, member: 1039"] A good while back a friend of mine convinced, coerced, cajoled? me into using TTSX's for hunting instead of the VLD I had been using. Mind you, the VLD's didn't fail but he was afraid that one day we would have to root around in the game tunnels to find a kill. It never happened. We "hunted" out of a box (TX ranch "hunting" :/ It's better than nothing I guess) so the range was 100 - 150 at most. I shot 3 deer, with the 7mm Rem Mag and a 150gr TTSX and they dropped where they stood. There's a difference that's for sure. Last summer I got an F-Class itch (I got over it) and did some extensive load development with the same rifle and bullet. 400 rounds worth. Lots of powder tests, seating depth tests, and even a tuner brake test. I finally worked up a load that got me a sub 1/4" group at 100 yards and stopped testing. I still need to shoot it at 300 yards to see if it holds up. Point being, the TTSX's "fly pretty well" if you find their happy place. More importantly... If Hammer and Berger merged, what would the company be renamed to? 👀 :) [/QUOTE]
