Best TTSX bullet weight in .270?

[Norfolk Deer Search]

Who needs the hassle of mucking around with ballistic turrets or guessing at points of impacts when all you need to do, once satisfied with safety, cull animal etc. is to point and shoot?

Couldn’t tell you, never used a ballistic turret

How does that work?

You look at your RF then get a slide rule out "re check" go click click click, look up to find it has ****ed off

Way tooo fast in my opinion

Explain how it can be too fast when the bullet holds together , Worst i have seen is an odd single petal breaks off once in a while and that will happen with all copper unless its a none expanding solid !

Fired a 110 grain TTSX .270 into two 20 litre drums full of water laid end on on the ground at 80 yards. The bullet went through the first drum and came to rest in the second drum having mushroomed to approx .45 cal. Put the bullet on my RCBS beam scale and the bullet weighed 109 grains. Even at 3350 fps, it only lost 1 grain of weight….

yep! Exactly what you get I think you just lost the tip with that 1 grain LOL ! Unless a petal meets bone at the correct angle.

I speak from experience, i’ve said it before numerous times and I’ll say it again, I’ve never used light copper bullets and I’ve never driven them fast!

Never wanted to and never seen the reason to!

Sometimes you have to think out of the box and learn from experience instead of reading the line BS and following it!

Like I’ve said again numerous times I’ve shot copper well over 15 years and I’ve got a massive heap of dead to tell the story and I’ve never driven a bullet over 2960fps or under 130gn

Not yet had that issue so far, on the contrary my ttsx create less bruising than the accubonds that I used to use. Instead getting a minced splintered channel of around a couple of inches or so.

What cartridge, what distance and what MV?
I find the copper rounds totally adequate, no issues, but I don’t see the point in driving them fast, anymore than I see the point in light for caliber lead rounds.
