[QUOTE="SArnold30, post: 1923962, member: 113697"] I started a thread on this exact subject a few months back, except I'm using the TTSX: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/barnes-ttsx-150-or-168-gr-in-308-win.239538/[/URL] I'm also a California hunter running Barnes out of my 1:10, 20" in .308 Win. It seems the consensus on Barnes is that they will have almost 100% weight retention, so it's best to drop down a bullet weight and push them faster for expansion. I loaded some of the 150's with Varget, and the 130's with Win 748. Since the local range just reopened, I've only had a chance to test the 150's so far and they grouped fairly well (averaged right about .75 MOA, BUT I only used bipods and had to shoot from the left hand side of the bench, even though I'm right handed, while sharing a wiggly bench with another shooter who kept jostling the table). I still found that accuracy promising, so I'm going to redo those 150's and will run a comparison against the 130's off a more sturdy setup, and whichever one I like more gets the vote for opening weekend of A Zone in 7 weeks.
