Hitting the Gel
With its higher velocity, and therefore wider expansion diameter, the 180-gr. TTSX from the .300 Rem. Ultra Mag. at 100 yards created additional damage to the ordnance gelatin block (bottom). For comparison, the top block was shot with same bullet from a .30-'06 Sprg. (top).

The expanded 180-gr. TTSX at left impacted ordnance gelatin at 3,003 f.p.s., while the TTSX at right struck its target at 2,526 f.p.s. – both exhibited perfect expansion and weight retention.

Being a true "gray man" is not flashy. It won’t get you followers or likes or nods from across the room. What it will get you is something far more valuable in the real world: freedom of movement. Reduced attention. Lower probability of being selected, targeted or remembered.
Measuring the actual length of a barrel might seem like a simple task, but there's an industry-standard (and legally required) method to accurately measuring the length of your firearm's barrel.

Buying a gun based on how it feels at the counter is like buying a car without test-driving it. It's the firearm equivalent of just sitting behind the wheel, going “vroom vroom!”
