A couple of posts about them last year beginning here - http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=277.msg15293#msg15293
"Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother's sword has been sheathed in a brother's breast and that the once-happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by a race of slaves.  Sad alternative!  But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?" - George Washington - from a letter to a close friend after the events of April 19, 1775

"There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our (the United States) overthrow.  Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter.  From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.  I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing." - Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837

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.
