[QUOTE="fireroad, post: 430079, member: 17359"] I normally shoot 130 AB but on the recommendation of a friend I am thinking about trying Barnes for a elk and deer load for my 260 rem. Barnes offers 4 choices in 6.5mm and they are so darn close that I am having a hard time picking one. I think I have it narrowed down to the 130gr TSX FB or the 120 TTSX BT. The 130gr TSX would be better for elk but I am worried about expansion on close range shoots on elk and long range shoots on deer. The 120 TTSX would solve the expansion problem, but seems a little light for elk if I have a shoot over 300 yards. Anybody care to share their experience with these two bullets? [/QUOTE]
