[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 208579, member: 11717"] NONYA, I had a good chat with a Barnes tech rep a while back. They are planning to develop TTSX and MRX bullets for all the calibers eventually. The TTSX bullets (being all copper) are fairly long and they get a little too long in the higher weights for a particular caliber. That's where the MRX bullets come in with a tungsten rear core. You will see the TTSX's on the lower end of the weight scale for a particular caliber and the MRX's on the upper end. The TTSX also has a higher BC than the TSX and the MRX, and the MRX generaly has a higher BC than the TSX. I think the Barnes bullets are great bullets and have been planning to build my loads on them but now I am reconsidering with the E-Tip which has a greater BC and less fouling. And for a .308, 200 gr bullet the Accubond at .588 BC is hard to beat and a proven accurate and well performing bullet. The trade off between the TSX/TTSX and the E-Tip is penetration vs expansion and shock, and unlike the exploding BT, the E-Tip remains intact. Also heard that the E-Tip was recently tested in Africa with very good results, but that is very subjective. I'm waiting to hear reports from average guys on these forums including myself. The proof will be in the pudding. We should see some results this fall. [/QUOTE]
