Yeah, I read what you wrote before....but apparently hunt365 would beg to differ...did you read his response to you?
He said:
Then you said:
Then he responded:
Sounds to me like he may know something you don't.....in fact, your bringing the winmag into the discussion is what is causing the confusion
So 365, what loads/what kind of $?
I see two or three of them in the EE these days. Not so many 358Wins.

That's cuz they are all busy being used as canoe paddles!
Honestly, I'd buy either any day.
new for 2010 we'll see a 185gr TTSX, the ultimate 338F bullet IMO
Ive shot 160gr TTSX in my Sako 338f I had, 2970 fps and most groups ran in the .6" for 3 shots. Deadly I am sure, but a bit more weight doesn't hurt, when you're after elk and moose. 210gr TSX are great too, but I don't think the 185 will give up much in the way of penetration to the 210, and will fly a little flatter which is nice.
185gr @ 2750fps will get a guy to 350 yards no problem (15" drop from 200y zero, 2050 fps, 1700 ft lbs energy)
for comparison, a 200gr tsx @ 2600 fps out of a 358 Win will drop 20", hit with 1650 fps, 1200 ft lbs energy - at 350 yards
bahahahhaa

Hey . How much ch$ng are those 160 tsx's worth by the box?
I will be starting to load for mine soon as I get dies, how did you get to 2970fps? can you send me your load data? It would be much appreciated , spending close to $75 for a box of 185 Barnes factory loads does not promote a lot of practice shooting.
right now only Federal loads TTSX ammo, and thats only in 270 Win/270 WSM/7mm RM/300 WSM/300 Win Mag in real light bullet weights (110gr & 130gr). They are marketing it as their hyper velocity premium ammo (3400-3500 fps)
Id assume they will begin loading normal weight bullets in a variety of cartridges from 243 to 338 Mag, but we wont find out until later in the year or early next year.
What kind of ammo are you looking for? Ive seen Fusion 200gr for about $40 a box
