180TTSx/ 300HH

[salmonchaser]

I had a little time this morning to run out to the range just to confirm my zero on the 300 HH Number1. I also wanted to test a load I had found several pages back in my log book. The note said “ wow, great load but a little slow”
69.0 grains N570, 180TTSX; loaded .09 off the lands. I expected it to run a little over 3K but it came in at 2975. Ok for a 300 HH but I wanted a little more.
I fired three shots then swung for the 400 yard target, dialed and fired the last two. The two shots at 400 were about an inch and half low, centered on the same horizontal line about 2inches apart.
The three at 100 were just a little to the right, and just 1.5 high, I’m not touching anything.

Can’t argue with those results. I’ve been a firm believer in the TTSX bullet , easy to find a load and flat out put deer down.

That would work for anything I might encounter in BC or the Yukon.

Good point, the #1 also come in 300wm and I just saw one in 300 PRC. It is doing what it was designed to do. If I want 3150 I should add a 300 WM to the stable.

That’s a load that’ll really do anything.

Dang, that's some good shooting and not much will stand up to that load!

Better make sure your knives are sharp!
Best of luck on your adventure!

Love going to elk camp, 3or 4/5 years or so I actually punch a tag. Knifes are always sharp.

Great shooting!
Nice to know where they’re going to land.
