[QUOTE="bkondeff, post: 338062, member: 10444"] I started to read this post as I have purchased some TSX for 7MM and .257, as I hunt with a friend on the Central Coast of california where lead is banned. I find the discussion of using two bullets interesting. I have been trying to extend my range and have been using the Berger VLD's, as it's hard to beat the 617 BC in my 7MM Mag. The bergers have worked well in that gun, but not so much in my 25-06. The bergers, like many reports here, penciled through on behind shoulder shots, where ribs where not even hit. There wasn't even much damage to the lungs other that perfect little holes, as there was apparently no expansion at all from bullets none for going in 3-6 inches and detonating. The bullets I used exclusively before trying for better BC's where the Nosler Accubond. This is a bullet that has very good BC and for all accounts and all my experiences performs very well. They don't always pass through so they don't leave that huge blood trail, but they certainly seem as good a bullet as there is for that one bullet does it all up to very long ranges. I still have to figure out how to get these TSX's to shoot well for this pig hunt. My friend who lives in California also shoots the same rifles as me so I'm trying ot find a load that works for him as well. [/QUOTE]
