[QUOTE="orifdoc, post: 2645236, member: 115070"] I’d be a lot less impressed if you didn’t recover the animal. I’ve killed around 30 or 40 animals with the TTSX and a few with the TSX. Most were deer to elk sized - some here, some in Africa. I can only think of one that disappointed me, but that might have been poor shooting on my part. Maybe give it another try before declaring it toast? Big critters hit with monos act differently than whitetails hit with relatively soft bullets. If they die and you can recover them, that’s all that really matters. That said, monolithics do best when driven fast. The .308 isn’t exactly a speed demon. I have killed mulies with 165 TTSX out of a .308 a handful of times. It worked. As for the Tikka in .308, you have more options than perhaps any other caliber out there. My experience is that they aren’t all that picky. I’m still loading the very first load I ever tried. Never touched the charge, bullet, or COAL and it did 1/2 MOA out of the box, Good enough for me!
