I always enjoy your bullets reviews and real world experiences, Bobby. I like to try different deer hunting bullets every year. This year I've been hunting w/ the Banes TTSX bullets, 100 gr in 260 Rem and 110 gr in 7-08. I killed a small doe w/ the 260, but haven't had a shot w/ the 7-08. I was pleased w/ the 100 gr. on a shoulder shot at 40 yards. Deer only ran 30 yds, leaving an easy to follow blood trail Entrance and exit holes were large. I'd prob get a little more velocity in my 260 than what you get in your carbine. Sounds like it should work in my XP. I'll pul the 115 gr TAC-TX on my list of "new bullets to try out."
