Federal Premium now offers its VitalShok in .270 WSM in a 110gr Barnes TSX Tipped Bullet running out at 3400 fps.  So now the .270WSM is that much better. You have your 130gr-150gr bullets for deer/elk/mooose and the 110gr for those varmints. |
Those 110's will kill your moose and any deer that walks the planet as dead as any 150grain bullet ever made.
We are talking a big game bullet in the TSX,not a varmint bullet, and one which will retain close to 100% of it's weight.
150gr x65%(typical bullet weight retention) weight retention is about 97.5gr.
Gee the 110gr TSX still will likely weigh more after all the shooting is over.
I know they work, my Mrs. is still shooting the older now discontinued 100gr. XFB's in her 270 Win, moose deer, and antelope all die in a most satifactory manner, so I would hazard a mighty educated guess the 110's should be as leathal if not more lethal
(dead is dead).
I hope this provides some clarification to a often mis understood aspect of the TSX bullets.
