140 gr tsx & ttsx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You just can't beat a good 140 gr bullet in my 7mm-08. Make it a tsx and even more so. Consistent MOA groups with the TSX when shooting off my pack.
Last week Twisted Canuck dropped by the house for a beverage and quick reloading session. He brought some TTSX 140 grainers with him. He loaded up a few at half grain increments to give a try. He left the rest here and said for me to give them a try too.
Well I went out today and resighted the rifle (it had been sighted with 100gr Sierras)
Three shots later I was 2 and 3/4 inches high and centre at 100 yrds.
Wind is up,but still it was ok for fun, so I gave a few tsx's a fling down range.
Right about an inch,...happy enough.
I then tried the TTSX's that Twisted Canuck brought over.
WOW!!!!
The first two were touching and the third was half an inch out.
I only had the three, didn't want to use all his bullets...but I need to pick up some for sure. The hunting difference may be almost negligible, but it was interesting enough to want to play some more with them.
They printed half an inch higher than the TSX's.
