I came across 150 of these (discontinued) and bought them all. I figured that they would be the best of both worlds for my 25 WSSM: Fast and flat for yotes and varmints, but good enough construction for deer and antelope. I was wondering what you guys think of these running around 3500-3600 fps for deer or if any of you have used them. Thanks.

They should work fine but watch your pressure and you will probably foul up pretty quick. The original X had a problem with excessive fouling. The grooves now employed on the tsx's not only reduced fouling considerably but also pressure. I really don't think you need to push them that fast and more than likely would perform better at a lower velocities.

I've got 300 85 grain x bullets in .257 that i was planning to load up in a .257 Roberts for my son to use for deer. Haven't done it yet but I.m thinking they should soot pretty good. I never have seen 75 grain x bullets but they should work fine also. I'm a firm beliver in "velocity kills" let us know how they work.
