Great bullets
Ive ben using these 168 gr 30 cal TSXs for 10 years or so. They are very accurate on the range, and deadly on elk. Ive killed 6 elk with them; all were complete pass-through shots, for quick, clean kills. I also shoot TSXs in my 25-06 and my 6.5CM, with similar results.
Versatile
This is a bullet that makes a .375 caliber rifle useful for anything from deer to moose. Excellent weight retention and accurate to boot.
ZERO failure
I have been using Barnes bullets in every caliber firearm that I hunt with for the past 22 years. I have had no problems with expansion or penetration. They are accurate and dependable. Guarenteed to have an exit wound and a blood trail to follow. the only problem with the product is availability.
My first Bull.
I shoot a Browning X Bolt .300 WSM and I live in CA so I needed to change over to a non toxic cartridge. Had an Elk hunt booked so I wanted to get some trigger time before the hunt. Found that I was getting inconsistent groups, the salesman said that the copper residue was causing the inaccuracy and that I should use the Barnes CR10 copper solvent instead of what I had been using. The change in accuracy was significant. 1 MOA consistently. Shot my first Bull, a 7x6 at 298, one shot, went about 20 yards and dropped.
Great product
Easy to load for and a very consistent per bullet. Great buy!
TSX 35 cal for 35 Whelen
A very accurate bullet, kills white tail as if struck by lightning when bullet is placed right. 200 gr tsx 59 gr IMR 4064 2772 fps SD-0 in a TC Encore.
Very effective
My teenage son and I both downed elk with these out of 30-06 this last season, and I have downed other elk in previous seasons with this round. These will break bones, even with less than ideal shot placement. Both shots went completely through so we did not recover the bullets. One elk dropped, the other went about 50 yards, but the most important part is that these elk are in the freezer since these bullets did their job. I am still amazed at the major bone breaking ability (both sides of the elk) of a 165 grain bullet out of an 30-06.
Alaska's all round bullet
I have taken brown bear, moose, caribou, black bear, goat and black tail deer. I've recovered the triple shock bullets from bear and moose and all were perfectly expanded and fully intact. This has been my choice in a hunting bullet since they came out. If your bring one gun to Alaska, regardless of what you plan to hunt, I recommend the .338 with the triple shock in the 210 or 225 gain
Accurate Hunting Bullet
I bought these to load rounds up for my old Win. 1960's model 94. The rifle has only got peep iron sights, but it is as accurate as I can shoot it. The bullets did impact several inches higher than the 170 grain Winchester rounds I was shooting. The performance on a deer I shot last year was good. The round did what it was supposed to do. I was just expecting a larger wound channel/exit wound. The round impacted and traveled through both shoulders and exited. The bullets are a good bit more expensive than other standard cup and core rounds, but the accuracy is not even in the same league. Don't hesitate with this bullet.
Great bullet
I'd echo the above. I've used the bullet on moose, girz and sheep with great performance. The gold standard "partition" bullets can't take the abuse these can. Penetration is no problem. It goes thru everything unless you hit multiple LARGE bones. You'll need to watch seating debth as the taper is different than most.
