[QUOTE="choprzrul, post: 2427744, member: 121411"] Per a phone conversation with Barnes' tech support, the .308 168gr TTSX will open up down to 1500fps. If I remember correctly (I didn't write that one down), the 165 TSX opens up down to only 1900fps. To me, that 400fps difference would seem to indicate the 165 is much harder to get to expand. Here are some other numbers I've gathered from calls to Barnes. All .308 diameter: 180 TTSX = 1500 175 LRX = 1600 190 LRX = 1600 200 LRX = 1600 208 LRX = 1700 130 TTSX = 1800 150 TTSX = 1500 I find it interesting....Barnes must be playing with materials and/or construction to get such variations... This fall I'm hoping to use my 1885 in 45-70 deer hunting with the Barnes 300gr TTSX. They tell me it opens up down to 1100fps. It should be interesting to see how fat and slow performs :cool: [/QUOTE]
