WesternmassmanWhich TSX for .308
I'm looking to try some TSX's for my .308 M77 Ruger. My choices are : 150, 165, and 168.
Can anyone explain the practical differences between the 165&168?
Also, are these bullets longer than Nosler Partitions?
Any pet loads you care to share?

okie johnI believe the main difference, aside from 3 grains of weight, is the shape of the ogive. I'd use whichever one shot best in your rifle.

PATRIOT76I wouldnt shoot any at deer. I tried a 150 last year and it penciled thru i assume as the deer took off like a bot out of hell. Shot was so close and minor bloof and hair on ground proved i didnt miss. I would try the 130's and load em up so that you can enough velocity to adequately open those things or try shooting thru the shoulder 100% of the time
I like accubonds for whitetails
