110gr TTSX

RL338 · Oct 26, 2025

Did a little jug testing today with the 30-30. Took 2 attempts on this one. I was a little worried that the 30-30 would be too slow for good expansion , no issues to report. I’m happy with this load. I was set up at 30yds.

Looks great. That should dump the biggest deer with ease.

I’ve never thought of the 110 for the 30-30.
Good speed and very nice mushroom

That is really some good expansion. I would not hesitate to use that on game.

This is the combo I plan on using this season from the stand in the woods. I was looking at the Tac-X in 110grs if this didn’t work out.

Shot a doe this morning with the 110gr TTSX out of the Savage. It did do a death sprint before expiring.

Congratulations on the doe. It does appear that the bullet worked, and that would indicate that you put it in the right spot. I would surmise that the bullet disrupted the lungs, putting an end to her efforts fairly quickly.

Nice doe, congratulations Rick.
That 110 TTSX opened up and dumped some energy between the slats.

Congratulations!

How far? Good blood trail?

I am curious as I am still experimenting with coppers. Still seeking facts outside my own observations. Many thanks.

The shot was at 75yds. Didn’t need to track as it expired 20 yds from my brother’s stand.

This morning I got another doe with the 30-30. This time I had to track it. Shot at 80yds and it did a death run of 60 yds. If it wasn’t for the snow finding it would have been a chore. Very little blood to follow. Bullet chewed up the vitals , just didn’t leak much out on the run.
