I'm looking for a 30-06 load for elk and other such ungulates. I've decided on the Barnes TTSX bullet but can't decide on the weight. I'm either going to use either the 168 grain load at 2800 fps, or the 180 grain load at 2700 fps, but I am looking for insight on which one to use. I've heard that the 168 grain TTSX's penetrate as good as 180s of another design because the Barnes retain 100-99% of their weight. So is a 168 grain TTSX as good as an 180 grain TTSX?
