180grs TSX in 8x64S
Just back from the range: My revuild ZG47 in 8x64S shoots great with the TSX. The real hunting season starts tomorrow, hope to test the load om game (red deer and boars) soon. Velocity shoukd be near by 2800 fps...

Yes, the 180 grs TSX shot really well in my R93 in 8x64S as well. Taking a page out of your book, I loaded them over VVN550. Sadly velocity with the 180 grs TSX was not that much higher than what I get out of 200 grs AccuBonds (2760 fps vs 2700 fps). So it is questionable whether I'll pursue the 180 grs TSX load. Nice groups, though.

mho, I loaded the TSX with 55grs of N140, must be good for 2800fps!
