I shoot them in a couple of my rifles and have been well pleased.

^^^Go light for caliber with the ttsx and pick up the additional velocity. I’d personally go with the 120gr ttsx in the 08. I dropped from 165-180gr bondeds to 150 gr in my .300 when I switched over to the ttsx 2 yrs ago and never looked back. It’s a great bullet and that 150 is smoking when it leaves at 3310fps.

Great bullets! I run 168gr ttsx and tsx in my .300 RUM, 127 lrx in my 6.5 creedmoor, 130 gr ttsx in my .308 and 80gr ttsx in my girlfriends .243, so I guess you can say I have a strong affinity toward them lol

I guess I’ll be the party pooper. I haven’t noticed anything special about them. Been shooting 140gr out of 2 different 7/08’s and performance is good, just not superior to anything else I’ve seen. I still am searching for a bullet that will shore nuff open one up. Blood trails with the ttsx hasn’t been as expected.

Picked up some accu-bonds, Norma soft point and fusions. I will probably start with the fusions or Norma this year depending on what each gun likes.

If I can find some old school partitions, I’ll likely go back to those.

This is the only one I have recovered.
Not a 7-08 but a 130 gr out of a 308. Like others have said, drop the weight for higher velocity. I noticed better performance dropping from 150 grainers.

The fusions might serve you well, it’s hard to beat the partitions. It’s all I’ll shoot

I’ve shot several deer with a 120 grain NBT out of my 7-08. Very impressive blood trails. The 120 grain NBT in the 7mm is a tough bullet.

I doubt I’ll ever shoot a mono.

Yep, that's the load for a .308 . My son and I both shoot the 130s in 308. Blood trails a plenty , but that really doesn't matter when they're DRT or never make it out of sight.

TTSX is all I use in all my deer calibers. I load them as hot as possible and I don’t mind dropping a little weight to up the speed. The last six deer I killed dropped right there. I think the key to it staying together and expanding uniformly well is the copper.

Yeah for sure. Most of the blood trail comes from dragging them out, 9 times out of 10 it’s a bang/flop kind of deal.

N2TRKYS loaded up some 120’s for my 6.5PRC. Can’t wait to see how they perform on a whitetail.

As said by others the 120 grain would probably be best for the 7mm-08 but if the 140 is all you can get I'd just make sure to try to shoot dead in the shoulder so they will hit good bone and expand.

Shoot 100s in my 25-06 at 3400fps and 140s in the 7mag at 3275fps. Both perform VERY well.

I shoot them in the kids/wife 243 and one of my 280s they shoot good groups and perform well on fur. I’ve never recovered one.

I recovered this 168 gr 30 cal from a 218# buck this past season. I've recovered several tsx and ttsx. The only time they loose peddle's is when it's hit the spine. The majority of the bullets I've recovered are the 180 gr.
