The only rifles I use Barnes TSX ammo in are my speed demons, .257WBYMag & .270WBYMag. Everything else gets Nosler Partitions or Accubonds. I have one A-bolt odd ball in .270Win that absolutely loves the 130gr GMX.

Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22

I absolutely love them in my daughters 223. She has killed 5 deer and quite a few hogs with the 62 grain ttsx. Some ran a little ways some fell right there, but they all seemed to bleed well.

I also shoot them in my 308, and I am undecided on them. I shoot the 130 ttsx at 3175 fps. They shoot well. If I do my part, the gun will almost put them into a half inch. I've shot 3 deer with them so far and they all died fine, but none left much blood.

The first was around a hundred yards. The deer was quartering to me some. I aimed for the shoulder and hit him just behind it. It exited in the flank then entered again in the ham and on out the other side. The deer ran right to me and probably would have fell at the bottom of the tree I was in. I had short stroked the bolt and tried to shoot him again. When the gun clicked, he looked up at me and ran back to where I shot him and fell over. Though he probably would have run only 100 yards, he ran about 200 yards and I didnt really see any blood. Might have been hard to find if I hadn't seen him fall.

The second one was shot quartering to me at about 100 yards. He only went 40 yards or so, but didnt leak any blood until right before he died and it wasnt much then.

The third one is the one that really got me to thinking. I shot him at about 60 yards. He was quartering away pretty hard. The bullet went in behind the shoulder and went out maybe a third of the way down his neck. He hit the ground hard and kicked around . I couldn't see him on the ground, but could see the grass wiggle a little for a little bit. I called my wife to bring the buggy and stepped out on the steps of the shooting house to pee. Bout the time I got done, I saw him get up and start trying to get gone. I grabbed the gun and shot him again, broad side this time. He fell pretty quick at the second shot and bled a good bit, but none at the first shot. If I couldn't have shot him again, I think he would have been hard to find.

I'm going to shoot a few more before I make up my mind, but I'm not sure I wouldn't have fared better with a NBT.


May the sound of hounds never die!

One advantage of the barnes is you can drive them as fast as you can and don’t have to worry about them coming apart, this yields flatter trajectory and more energy.


If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

I probably have more Nosler Partitions and Accubonds on hand than anything but that is just because I don't shoot them up as fast since they are loaded for hunting. To me all copper bullets are a solution looking for a problem. Maybe California liberals are to blame. Give me one all copper with a very good design and high BC and I'm on board with shooting it. Otherwise - I don't have a reason.


Weight sort and base to ogive measure your barnes I bet they will perform like the bergers. I've noticed a lot of variation in barnes bullets enough to effect groups at short ranges.
