Best Antelope load for 257 Weatherby Mag
I reload and have used the 257 wby for whitetail with 100 grain tsx. I have had great success with this particular load but am wondering if there is a better bullet. I know I don't need a bullet as tough as the tsx for antelope but I don't like the way some of the balistic tip bullets destroy the meat. Has anyone tried the 80 grain ttsx from barnes?

100gr TSX
80gr is as flat as the 100 I believe, ie lower BC.
IMO the 100gr is a light 25 cal bullet, no reason to go any lighter.
if you want to shoot a 80 or 85gr bullet shoot a .243win.
no reason to change your whitetail load, have at it.
