139 hornady SST's in front of varget has been great for me. Bang flops on deer.
Loaded some 120 TTSX's with varget for good results at the range and hoping to test out on an elk...
Son shot several deer with the 139 sst hand loads and I agree they do severe damage on deer. Like they're hit by a semi type thing, you'll love the ttsx on elk. I load nothing but 139 lrx now for it.
Hornady 139 grain SST and BTSP both group the exact same, under MOA at 100yds through her weatherby. Using Benchmark powder, large rifle primer, flings them at just over 2800fps.
Makes more of a mess then my 308 165gr Speer btsp at 2700fps.
My 700 wouldn't group worth a damn, tried multiple types of box ammo and hand loads with 139, 140, and 150 with no luck.
Worked up a load with 120 nosler bt over varget and all of a sudden it's the most accurate rifle I own. Hoping to find the same success with the 120 ttsx so the wife can use it for elk/moose in the future. For this year it's going put for muley and whitetail.
