[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1059730, member: 63138"] 318lll9740 I agree with you that Bergers tend to shoot pretty good in most rifles. Once I figured out you just stick them within 0.010" of the lands they all seemed to shoot. I typically develop loads for TTSX or LRX, Berger HVLDs and Accubonds for all my rifles and then use whichever one fits the situation best. As far as Barnes, I just saw a post yesterday that described how to best use them. You want light for caliber in Barnes to make them expand to the max. You also want the TTSX or LRX so the plastic tip can maximize expansion. He further said that if you can't drive them over 3,000 fps then switch to something else. I think this advice is right on. You need to keep the shock value up there with Barnes. From my experience I can shoot everything with the 210 TTSX out of my 338 RUM and they stumble for 20 yards and go down. That bullet is running 3,200 fps so it meets the 3,000 fps criteria and so far they have worked great, elk, deer, whatever - one shot kills and zero meat damage. I have heard of the TSX failing to expand and you might want to give the TTSX a try since you have plenty of horsepower in that 270 WSM. [/QUOTE]
