Have you killer elk with the 130s out of a 3006?
No, but I've killed two with a 120 TTSX from a 7-08.

Not the hammers. Been completely impressed with their performance and highly recommend. Second choice would be Barnes, then GMX.When you say, "they penciled through", do you mean to imply, or assume, that they didn't expand?
Because that is not the case. They did expand. They shed their pedals, and the solid base was left to, "pencil", on through.
I have taken 2 large cows with a 130 in 308 Win, and 1 with a 150 TTSX.Have you killer elk with the 130s out of a 3006?
Ive got a sub .5 moa loaded up with 120s TTSXs for a 7mm08 this year. Did it work well on the elk? Im playing with some 140gr ABs alsoNo, but I've killed two with a 120 TTSX from a 7-08.
What’s popular and sells is not always the best option.Something else worth noting is that Barnes factory ammo for 30-06 comes in 180 TTSX, 175 LRX, 168 TTSX, and 150 TTSX.
Here are some minimum velocities for adequate expansion for .308 caliber
- 130gr TTSX- 1800 fps
- 165gr TTSX- 1800 fps
- 168gr TTSX- 1500 fps
- 180gr TTSX- 1500 fps
I think the 175 LRX is probably 1400fps, but that isn’t confirmed.
