[QUOTE="ridgewalker, post: 2882204, member: 55998"] Interestingly Barnes doesn’t use the same weight/design bullet for every application. Case in point, Their 30-06 150 TTSX shot exceptionally well in my Remy, so I bought some bullets to reload. After seating them exactly to the same COAL as factory loads the top groove showed. I emailed them asking about it. The reply was not what I wanted to hear…”the bullets for reloading are for 300 WM. They are not the same we load in our VOR-TX line”. Stupid IMO! He went on to say pretty that the 168 TTSX is designed for the 30-06 and 308 while the 165 TTSX is designed for the 300 WM. So I shoot the 165 TTSX in my 300 WM. They go completely through elk, but game as small as coyotes (see mangy picture at 181 yards) they open quick enough to kill.
