My 270 win.  for deer: 150 gr. Federal Fusion.  Op's checked perfect on a Whitetail buck last year.

My son's 270wsm  140 gr.TSX handloads.  Awesome performance filling my son's youth doe permit in the Alta unit.

Elk rifle is a 300 wsm with a 180gr. TSX handload.  Great accuracy with the TSX's in both wsm calibers.

I like those roundnosed 175gr rascals too, for my 7x57.  I'm out of them now; may try Grafs and see if they have any.  I need to find some 200-grain roundnosed softpoints for my 8x56MS, too; it shoots those old factory Westerns so well I want to duplicate the load.  Anybody got 200gr RNSP .323's?  .322's?  I shoot too much to buy premium bullets for all my oddballs, but those roundnosed slugs do devastate deer & elk-sized critters.  Buffalo has 250gr .356's for the 9x57, but the ones I tried shot funny, and they cost over four bits apiece, so I guess I need a new source for them, too.  I've got some -06 stuff on the "pay it forward" part of the site, if anybody wants to trade.  Good luck with the big storm, if it ever materializes, and mind yer topknots!  windy

I could not get any accuracy out of my 7X57 with 175 grains bullets, but it will keyhole with 160 grains Barnes TSX and lighter bullets.  So Barnes TSX are it for me.  They are a bit on the expensive side.
Progressives are coming for your guns. 
What are you going to do?

Well me, I do not have any guns, gave away or sold them 15 years ago.
