[QUOTE="4LClover, post: 435229, member: 27558"] Berger has a great reputation for target bullets but no reputation for hunting bullets. It seems that they have done a good job of convincing people that a bullet that fragments into 1000 pieces is a great hunting bullet. Strange that Barnes hasn't advertised the use of the varmint grenade as a big game bullet. That would be because it isn't. Yes, I have had mixed results with the accuracy of TSX bullets (like most bullets). They seem to be sensitive to seating depth. Nevertheless, several of my rifles shoot them well and they go through anything, and have made quick kills on everything I have shot them with. I don't have to worry about eating lead either. Ask yourself, if you are hunting in bear country, what would you rather have in your chamber? Give me a TSX, Swift or Partition any day. Using a target bullet in this environment is about as clever as carrying bacon in your pack. If you are an experienced hunter then you have hit heavy bone several times on a variety of animals. If the bullet can't penetrate the bone then you have a wounded animal on your hands. If that animal has teeth and claws, you may become a turd. [/QUOTE]
