    No but they should work well. Push them fast.
    A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

      Thanks sir, going to order some now.......just curious if they would perform well in a 30-06 also?

        Probably but I prefer to use 150 or 130gr TTSX bullets.
        Part of it would depend on the size etc of the game being hunted or expected.

          That is a very light weight bullet. For a fast, flat shooting load people will shoot a lighter lead free bullet than normal but that's a big step down.

          In the 300 Savage the 130 grain bullet would be very flat shooting and the 30.06 could use the 165s or the 150s to get a really fast load.

              I believe the .30 caliber 110 TTSX is made for .300 blk velocities, and as such, I would be worried that it would expand too quickly possibly shedding petals or limiting penetration.

                Savage 99

                Never seen a 99 with a tubular magazine, rotary or box type. Maybe something I haven't seen though. hogbody

                  If I am wrong sorry I pictured the 99 as a tubular mag rifle never put pointed bullets in tubular mag centerfire.

                    Alright, just thinking that 130ttsx looks really long......

                      Rotary mag on this one......just imagine it as a fixed 10/22 mag....

                        In 30 cal.

                        The Barnes 130 grain TTSX is 1.084" long.
                        The Sierra Gameking 150 grain is 1.1" long

                            For deer I wouldn't worry about penetration as it's limited (IMO) to

                              After spending quite a bit of time researching and playing with Quickload, the 110gr Barnes seems to be just about ideal for the Savage 99. Barnes bullets need high impact velocity and naturally the 110gr can be loaded faster. Impacts over 2400fps are best and I would probably not use it where the inpact was below 2100.

                              As far as I can tell there is a specific Barnes bullet for the 300 blk and it is of different construction than the TTSX. It looks different, the measurements are also different.\

                              Remember that copper is less dense than lead. A 110gr pure copper bullet has the same volume as a 139gr pure lead bullet due to the difference in density.

                              Barnes copper bullets are bin in penetration. The 110gr will most likely go through and deer. A bigger weight copper bullet will also probably go through as well, but with less expansion.

                              In a 30-06 a 130gr or larger would likely preform better. The 300 Savage just has limited powder volume and with the larger bullets there just isn't the powder volume to get the needed velocities.

                              One final note. The TTSX are longer than the TSX, and this leads to slightly lower velocities from reduced powder volume. At the short ranges that I would consider using this rifle and bullet, the TSX has a very slight advantage.

                              So far this is all theory, but I just ordered some bullets and have some 3031 that came near the top velocity wise. Just hoping for some cooling so I can get out and test. These recent 110+ days have been crazy.
