    JTD, I haven’t decided quite yet. The more I read others opinions the more I shy away from the 210gr TTSX. But the 185gr version doesn’t speak to me as much. Trying to find a middle ground with other brands and think I might give the 200gr Nosler Etip a try, as a compromise. I ran some numbers through a ballistic calculator (which I fully understand to not take as Gospel truth) and even with the 210gr TTSX, it is still carrying 2000fps at 400, which in my research is nearing the lower recommended velocity of 1800 for most all copper bullets. Probably never take a shot that far, but it’s nice to know it’s still within the limits. Comparing that to the 185 which at 400 yards is spinning along at around about the same of right around 2000fps. Kinda a dilemma I’ve run into with my stubbornness for all copper bullets, but just more to research. That’s why I’m looking at the 200gr Etip as it is about as close to being in the middle of these two as you can get.
