No way..you're kidding right...that was sarcasm. I never would have guessed. Man you are the king. Glad we are friends now though!

470 Mbogo said:You pretty much have the perfect loads for the cartridges you have. I guess I should have been a little more specific with calibers and velocities. I'm thinking in the medium bore calibers such as the 375"s hot 338's and the 416's such as the Rigby and Weatherby that can take advantage of the extra velocity. The better bullet construction also makes the 460 Weatherby the cartridge it was designed to be. I hope you had a chance to look at the link, it is very interesting.
I shot a 450 Ackley for quite a while and WW748 was an excellent powder for it. It is so close to your Lott it would be worth a try. It's temperature stable also.
Take care,
Dave

So are these bullets failures in your opinion too?

Omega,
If I found those bullets inside a coyote I'd be thrilled. .
Everyone talks about the perfect bullet and the perfect velocity but unless you are using different bullets at different ranges, you'll never get that perfect performance from every bullet. A bullet that easily blows through a moose at 100 yards likely won't at 300. Is that bullet failure...hardly...it's a simple matter of physics. We ask a lot of bullets and then are disappointed when they don't perform how we want despite the fact that they were never designed to. No doubt each bullet has its optimum performance velocity but you'll likely only ever get to experience it one out of every 100 shots. To look at a bullet and comment on its performance without knowing the conditions surrounding how it got there is impossible. If the critter dies quickly...that's good bullet performance. Whether a bullet passes through or remains inside an animal is as much a matter of range as anything!
So for your money the TSX is the only bullet is what you are saying, fair enough.
