I'm shooting 140 grain SST in my 270 Win. It's done well on deer. I'm about to change over to 140 grain Partitons in my 270 Win and 115 grain Partitions in my 25-06.

Accubonds in my 7mm-08 are super accurate out to 500ish. Just haven't tried past that. And they work well on deer.

I really need to get my press out here from home so I can actually afford to try some loads out.

Paying $1-2 a round is just expensive.

x2...

Barnes ttsx 120 or 140. My 2nd choice if I couldnt shoot barnes would be a slingshot

every deer ive shot with the american whitetail fully expanded and still penetrated, never tried the sst in 7mm 08 , but use them in my 7mm rem mag and have had a couple non expansion heart shots, so im thinking those dont do so hot if they dont contact some bone.

I shot 3 this year with the 7mm-08 American Whitetails. All had good penetration and deer fell within sight but I picked a lot of fragments out of meat. I will use a bonded bullet this season, either Accubonds or Federal fusions.

I shoot a 7-08 and gave away the Hornady SST's that I was shooting. As others have said, they just don't leave a blood trail.

I shoot good old Remington Core Lokt's now and have no complaints

THIS!!!

Barnes 120 or 140 ttsx. End of story.

Reloading or off the shelf? Been thinking about loading the 140 for this season.

If they werent fire formed it give u some. Ive shot both but the reloads shoot best. The federals shot great, the vortex not so much

This. I would personally choose the 120 though every time to get that velocity up and really open up that Barnes. There really isn't a close 2nd place to a Barnes bullet, especially if you shoot them light for caliber.

What jughead said. Theyre bad

Been shooting 140gr Accubonds but they are do hard to get I'm swapping to the 120gr TTSXs.

I am reloading TTSX for my sons 7-08 this year. Loading 120 grain. Hopefully I can report back with results.

He shot a spike last year with sst. There was no exit wound, jacket and core separated and we found it in the opposite shoulder. Luckily we stumbled on the deer on a trail in some thick stuff. Deer was dead, but we almost didn't find him. It was a good shot too.

Just my experience

Call barnes and talk to ty herring to get their suggested load recipe. I shoot the h414 and seat the bullet to recommeded distance off the lands (I dont remember that # off the top of my head). Clean your barrel good with a powder and copper solvent. I clean mine 1x a year. It will tighten up between the 3rd and 5th shot. Both of my guns are sub moa with them.

Barnes TTSX 120 gr or Remington Core-Lokt 140 gr.
Two very different bullets, but I have the Core-Lokts zeroed at 100 yards and the Barnes at 200 yards without adjusting my scope in the slightest. In the stand I keep a 140 chambered, and if something appears on the horizon I can easily re-chamber a 120.

Haven't seen any comments on the particular round shown below... anyone shoot this one?



Here's a link to this bullet with details: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/32...on-140-grain-accutip-boat-tail-box-of-20

I searched for the Barnes TTSX factory ammunition and have not had any luck. Anybody know who may have it in stock?
