[QUOTE="500mag_guy, post: 816294, member: 34924"] I voted Barnes tsx. I have shot both on paper with great accuracy with both but on game, for me there is only one performer! About 6 years ago now I was out elk hunting and got a beautiful shoot at a big cow. She was about 200 yards away in this big opening meadow on top of a mountain. I got down and sent a 225 gr nosler partition right into her lungs. She dropped like a ton of bricks then just right back up and took off like a bat out of hell across this meadow waiting for her to drop dead but into the thick timber she went. So I waited about a half hour to let her bleed out and then started after her. Went to the pot where she was hit with a big blood spray over the snow. I thought she won't be to far... Haha boy that wasn't the case!! Started following the blood trail but after maybe 500 yards I had to really look for the blood.. Kept following her tracks and came across one of the biggest bulls I've ever seen on public ground where they were legal with a general tag. As much as I hated to do it I did the ethical thing and kept after this cow. I tracked her for probably 2 - 2 1/2 miles before I got another shot. This time she was about 100 yards off and I put one right at the base of her neck and stoner her. Upon gutting her out my lung shot with the 225 gr partition was a tiny little pencil hole all the way through her and the holes had sealed up. The next year I took a bull at right around the same distance with the same exact shot placement with a 225 gr Barnes tsx and he dropped on the spot upon gutting him out everything inside was a mess!! And the bullet was lodged in the opposite size rib cage. That was the performance I was seeking not a tiny pencil hole clean through. Ill post pictures of the bullet tomorrow. Anyways definite +1 for the tsx!! [/QUOTE]
