[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1172156, member: 63138"] I had a full custom 338 built a few years back and it became my rifle of choice. It really likes the 210 TTSX (see attached target). The same load shoots 2 inches at 600 yards. Not surprising with near single digit ES. With Barnes TTSXs the trick is to drive them over 3,000 fps to ensure good hydrostatic shock. It pretty much kills everything without much meat damage. Recently that included a nice 6X6 bull and a small whitetail. They both stumbled for about 20 yards and went down. The elk was at 348 yards and the whitetail at 210 yards. Kind of nice when you can use one rifle for everything. The key is using the TTSX going fast. [/QUOTE]
