[QUOTE="comen, post: 1156966, member: 52622"] I loaded a couple of boxes of 140 gr. TTSX for my brother's Sako 7mm stw. 83.5 grains of H1000 gave us 3345 at 18'. Very accurate, we got 3 shots in 13/16" at 300 meters at the range. He shot a nice muley buck this fall with this load 4 times! Buck was moving intermittently, angled a little toward him. first shot @320 or so; buck kept moving. second shot at about 250, same result, third shot at roughly the same distance, same result. The 4th shot at 190 yards dropped the buck. He thought he had missed the first 3 shots, but when he took the deer to the processor he had hit it all 4 times; Three shots were clustered behind the shoulder into a little over 2", a 4th shot was a little further back, this shot shattered a rib, quartered back and pierced the liver, broke a couple more ribs, and was recovered in the offside ham. This bullet mushroomed to about .291, and the tip was gone. The other three were 7mm in and 7mm out, not recovered, but no apparent sign of expansion. Has this happened to anyone else? Maybe we got a super hard box of bullets? [/QUOTE]
