[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 727775, member: 34818"] Complete Penetration with a Barnes TSX is pretty much guarranteed whether its a 130 gr TSX or a 200 gr TSX. I myself will always pick the heavier bullet IF it shoots accurately enough for my standards. If it won't shoot accurate enough then I will go down to the next heaviest bullet choice until I find one that meets my standards. I have yet to find a specific Barnes bullet that I have chosen to be inaccurate but it may happen sometime. Since you are shooting max to 500 yards, it's not really going to matter if you have a laser beam or not. I'm just not on the "speed kills" bandwagon. Even if the 200 gr TSX is going 2800 fps it will have more energy on target at 500 yds than the 130 gr TTSX going 3500 fps and will only get there .1 secs later than the 130 gr TTSX. I myself would rather have 70 more grains of bullet going through the target. Also a really light bullet going really fast will wear your barrel out faster than the slower, heavier bullet. Again..this is all just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
