John O Report post Posted December 22, 2009 I am considering loading some 130 grain TSX or Tipped TSX for my son's 30-06. He has been shooting a .270 with 110 gr tipped TSX's, which I have been very pleased with, but it is time to hand that rifle to little brother and graduate to the 30-06. Anyone have any experiences with this bullet and it's accuracy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TEAM JESUS Report post Posted December 22, 2009 We use the 150 TTSX for 7mm. Flat, accurate and deadly. I am going to switch the rest of my guns over to this bullet. 30-06 and 270. I would recommend a heavier bullet though. 30-06 is a big round bullet that likes to play heck with the wind at long ranges. It is easier to adjust for drop than it is for wind speeds or cross winds. This bullet mushrooms like you see it advertised. Also, if you ever draw Kaibab. You'll not have to switch loads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My son has shot a javelina and two deer with this bullet, and I will agree that it is devastating. Even though they are a little pricey, I am sold as well. The all copper 130 grain bullet is almost as long as the nosler 150's, so I was hoping the performance would be comparable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
punxsutawn Report post Posted December 28, 2009 I use that bullet in my 300 Remington short action ultra mag autoloader and am getting 3600 fps out of it. Probably a little less in the .30-06 but it is a good round. I also use the 168 TTSX in both my .30-06 and the 300 RSAUM. I think it's a much better bullet. Only problem with the 130 TTSX is that it is too short and has a tendency to move forward about .002-.005" in the case due to the recoil. I had Lee make me a factory crimp die for it and most of the problem went away, but the bullet will still move some in the case. Also as a note, I have worked up loads that are typically 1.5 - 2.0 grains above the max stated with no pressure signs at all. As far as accuracy, I get nice little clover leaf patterns at 100 yards with both bullets. Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I decided to stick with 150 gr noslers for the 06, and use 110 gr TTSX in my .270 for deer. The 110's are so accurate, I would be crazy to use anything else.
