[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2645401, member: 26077"] Have shot the 130 grain TSX at 3150 fps out of my 308 for 18 years. Moose, Elk, deer, Bear, wolf, coyote and grouse, all recovered, furthest tracking was about 70 yards. Longest kill with that rig, 580 on an very large Elk. Dropped where it stood. My other load is a Hornady Cup and Core 150 grain SP flat base at 3050 FPs. Using same POA, both hit within 1/2" POI out to 600 yards. Exactly the same results. Bullet is not nearly as important as the shooter hitting the animal in the right place. Factory ammo is now FAR better than it used to be. I was shooting some Winchester in a 30-06 the other day to break in the barrel and make brass. Easily under MOA, with relatively inexpensive ammo. Sellier and Bellot in my 7x65R shoots as good as the best reloads I can make for it. Weatherby Select 100 grain in 257 Bee will do 3 shot, .3 clover leafs. Find one that shoots good with a reasonable bullet choice, use that. [/QUOTE]
