Accubond or barnes tsx

Whats ur preference and why?

Accubond. They've been a more accurate bullet for me. Not saying I haven't been able to get Barnes to fly straight but the Accubonds have been consistently more accurate in a dozen + cartridges.

Barnes only because I haven’t tried accubonds. But have been thinking about it

I like them both. I shoot Barnes in 6mm and 7mm and Noslers in 277 and 308

I started using Accubonds and they have worked flawlessly. I’ve seen no reason to try anything else.

Big fan of the Accubonds and the ABLR. I like the performance of the Barnes bullets in .223Rem and in rounds that I push hard and fast like the 257 & 270 Roy.

Can’t go wrong either way. That’s my opinion. I prefer Barnes LRX over ttsx for most applications

I have shot the accubond for several yrs with great luck just wanted a few opinions

Both are great. Might get a little more shock and expansion from accubond for whitetail

Depends on critter, caliber, weight, and TTSX.....except for some specific uses/cases/ weights....Barnes is overkill for deer in anything over 243,...JMO. Cup and core is plenty. I’ve yet to catch an accubond in a deer, anyway. ....but a .308 130 TTSX at over 3k is great for threading needles through treetops, and the 30-30 150 TSX thinks it’s a 300 WM.

6 one way, half a dozen the other

Always had good performance with Accubonds in multiple calibers.

I've got some 130 ttsx loaded in 30-06. I don't have a chrono, but if be interested in how fast the are moving. I killed a ~120lb doe last year @ 40-45 yards and the exit was the same size as the entrance, about .308". She didn't take a step, only moved about 5 ft sideways and down. I wonder if the -06 is pushing them fast enough to break the pedals off?

Of the 2 I would go with the accubond
If I wanted a all copper bullet I would at the nosler e tip I have been pretty happy with them in 7mm-08

Barnes I use them in my 270stw and just got some 212gr LRX bore riders to try in the 300prc

I've recovered 4 or 5 ttsx and tsx 150-168's from an 06 . 2 where a perfect mushroomed x but the rest had shed a peddle or 2. One was a 5 yard straight on shot . Normally find them bulging out just under the hide.

I'd choose the Accubond. I shoot them in my 7 mag, 7mm-08 and my wife shoots them in her 243 and I've been really impressed so far. With that being said I am gonna be getting some 140 sierra gamekings here pretty soon to try in my 7mm-08 just to see how they do.

Don’t need a bonded bullet for 7’08 speeds. I load 140 Sierras in 3 different 7’08s, all shoot great, all are wicked on whitetails.

What powder are you loading for the game kings? I've been using IMR 4064 for the Accubonds and was gonna try it with the game kings since I already have it.

This is a ttsx I recovered from this mornings buck. First shot enterd high shoulder and exited low brisket. He bolted and the second shot was a 60 yd running shot hit em mid body and stopped in his neck. Totally destroyed its spine.

Use IMR 4064 in one, Varget in the other two, phenomenal accuracy in all three. I've almost come to believe if you can't get Sierras to shoot, you have rifle issues.

This is your answer. Lite, fast calibers up to 2506 I’d go with the Barnes. They like to be pushed fast and perform best with high velocity. My kids have killed several deer with a 55gr TSX and damage was impressive. Huge entrance and exit wounds.

Larger calibers I like the Accubond. It provides the best blend of expansion and penetration of any bullet I’ve used. I’ve killed 2 bucks with 150gr Partitions out of my 270 this year. I had a box of them from about 20 years ago and finally decided to load them. I’ll be swapping back to the accubonds.
