When using that stuff, light for caliber is the game. The faster its going, the better it works. It's nasty.

It probably won't expand in 100 yards or less, but it will kill. It's most efficient range world be 150 yards plus, in my opinion.

God Bless, David B. Please don't take offense to this but that's about as wrong as you can possibly get concerning those bullets. The faster they are traveling the better they perform.

I shoot them in a 260. They will destroy a deers insides. I want to push mine faster.

I had some one time in 270 it was a blue bullet seems like. It was terrible! Would not shoot consistently out of my gun. That was a long time ago if they are still around they must have got that fixed! I had a box of those same bullets and hated them. I love the TSX now though, but we have been using them in 223 and shortly ill be using them in 243 also. I've been very impressed. We had another pass through with the 223 in 55gr this morning.

I got some for my 270. Also loading them for my son's 7mm-08. Got them going around 3100 fps.
Haven't shot anything with either yet

I'm gonna try some Accubonds in my 25-06 and 270 Win, but may swap to the TTSX. I bet my 7mm SAUM with 140 grain TTSX would be some bad elk medicine next Fall.

I had some Winchester Failsafes, they are worthless for a whitetail. I shot several and they all passed thru without expanding. The deer when down but got back up and left. I switched to Accubond, they drop like flys now. If your bullets are not expanding change or you will loose deer !

winchester 140 gr accubonds I agree. I like the TSX in light fast calibers but a Accubond can't be beat for larger calibers IMO. They are the perfect blend of expansion and penetration. You dot have to push them that fast in order for them to work. All my shots with accubonds have been pass throughs with quarter to half dollar size exit wounds. Ill continue to use them in my 270.

I had some one time in 270 it was a blue bullet seems like. It was terrible! Would not shoot consistently out of my gun. That was a long time ago if they are still around they must have got that fixed! I bought some of those at Marks several years ago when my wife ran out of ammo mid season. I fired one shot and it hit good, so we went hunting. She missed a really huge drop tine buck at 250 yards, shot 2 feet under him. Back at the range those shells were hitting 2 feet low at 250 yards, and had maybe a 10" group/pattern. WTH. I took em back to Marks. My fault for not really checking em out on the range but I never figgered they would do that badly. Haven't shot a Barnes bullet since and don't plan to...
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Well that's a shame cause you're overlooking a good bullet. Between Accubonds and ttsx there's really no other one Id consider.

God Bless, David B. Please don't take offense to this but that's about as wrong as you can possibly get concerning those bullets. They faster they are traveling the better they perform. No offense taken. I loaded up several bunches of 3 each of the 180gr. Barnes TSX bullets in .5 grain powder differences for my 300 Weatherby. I never could get a good group as much as I wanted it to work out using that bullet. I THOUGHT I remembered that grain bullet wasn't recommended for 100 yards and shorter, particularly on lighter game, due to no expansion. I'll have to go back and review. God Bless, David B.
