I would like to try the 150 gr. TSX in my model seven .308 but I am a little concerned that I would not get the shot to shot consistency that I would like to get. I have not had real good experiences with boattail bullets and short barrels. So far I have had very good results with consistent accuracy from Hornady flat base SP's out the 18 inch barrel of the model 7. With the price that these bullets cost I am a little scared of throwing money after bad results.
I can offer up one very successful story with the TSX's though. I loaded some up for my .25-06 this fall. 100 grainers in .25 are not boattails but rather flat bases, wonder why 150 gr. in .308 are? Anyway I shot a smallish 8 pointer during gun season that acted as though he had been struck by Thor's hammer. A very dramatic kill to say the least. I was very impressed with the results of the first deer shot with this load. It will be interesting to see if I continue to get the same performance
