Interesting.baltz526":b0mrvfx0 said:I found that the 180gr Etip was way too hard for deer sized game at 300 Win Mag velocity. If I was Forced to shoot a Mono Metal. It would be a light for Caliber one. 150gr E-tip at 3300 for the 300 Win Mag. I would Probably go with the Lightest Mono Metal Made in Each Non Magnum Caliber. If there was not a Light Option I would shoot Bone
The Barnes 150 TTSX has been used by Dad for a few years now in his 7mm Weatherby at 3060fps, and he has done very well on deer.
Allegedly the gilded metal of the E-tip is harder than the copper used by Barnes. That may be a part of it?
I think you might do better to power down to a smaller caliber if you own one. Just a thought.
