[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 845734, member: 10723"] I am having some of the same thoughts about my Nov. deer hunt in Nebraska. My son and I both have had great success using 140 Accubonds out of our 280 Remingtons, so why am I thinking about shooting the Barnes TTSX bullets this year? It is for the same reason that you are thinking about--accuracy. My Rem 700 CDL shoots the Accubonds very good--.50-.75 inches at 100 yards is a usual group, but I seem to always be trying something different. So just for fun I loaded some 140TTSX bullets with N165 powder and shot a couple of three shot groups. You can see the results. I have some experience with Barnes TTSX bullets since I have loaded the 80 grainers for my grandsons to use in a 243 Win.--they worked great. I loaded some for a hunting friends 30-06 and the 168TTSX worked great for a shot of less that 100 yards, so I don't think that they will pencil through without opening up. The 168TTSX left a huge exit wound in the deer so it did open up. So as it stands now I will be shooting the 140 TTSX at a Nebraska deer come Nov.. [/QUOTE]
