Our deer huntng area is "Lead Free" >:(  So we use them.  165 gr. TSX BT with 49.7 gr of IMR4064 sot sub 2MOA out of my Win. 70 30-06.  One of my partners shot a deer with a 140 gr TSX BT out of a 7mm Rem. Mag and it dropped instantly, while disinigrating the heart, we never found it!

Expensive for sure.  I only shoot them to verify my scope.

They shoot real good,but you don't need them for practice. I use the sierra bthp match 2200,and it's a great bullet for what ever you shoot.
