nope,
 But I can tell ya the 120TTSX are giving me MOA (2") groups at 200 in my (the boy's) 7-08.
Simple stats? A tip from a local gent that say's he's shot a ton of the tsx,,,
One grain short of max, trim to sammi oal, seat too the middle of the top ring. I can't tell ya how far off the lands as yet, I'm waiting for my LNL 7-08 case to show up.
 Of course I worked up too that, but it works, I'm  ;D . I did find out they copper foul the bore more than I expected. 40 rounds and they didn't just open up,,they sprayed!, Cleaned it, fouled w/10 plain jane jacketed and it came right back to sweet.

Well I lied :( it's not 2"'s, it's 2.2, but if I subtract .284 then,,well who's counting beans, this is an honest 200yrd group with those 120 TTSX, off a bench, temp 25 degrees, these baby's sail! They're about 7" over the aiming point for Hornady 139BTSP
case trimmed 2.025
41.9 grns of H4895, Rem 9 1/2 LR
and .120 off the lands!! Darn deep throated handis
no chrony, but guessing around 2850-2900
All I hope is I can repeat this,,

Fine group fer 200 yards.  That's still only an inch away from where you are aiming in any direction.  And that is more than fine fer this ol' man.  DP
