The other bullet that interests me is the 100gr TSX.
If for some reason I decide to use something other then the 110gr accubonds in my .257 then I'll try the TSX's

Post by: Wanttohuntmore on February 27, 2011, 07:31:00 AM: We took 3 deer this year with a 117 gr Sierra Game Kings. No bullet failures, so I'm happy with the bullet. Not as happy with the 1/4 bore though. I had a good hit on my deer, and it didn't flinch, then walked about 50 feet and fell down, they slid about 250 yds.... I think my bigger rifle would have dropped it on the spot. But hey, it worked. Oh, I have the same rifle too, and am getting 1" groups at 200 yds with it. Darn accurate combo. I'm going to try some accubonds in it as well.
