[QUOTE="Firecat, post: 498526, member: 22600"] I recall having called Barnes to ask the question specifically as to the minimum velocity they recommend for their bullets to mushroom reliably. It seems like it was 1600-1800 fps. This is interesting since this is right in the industry standard for large game hunting bullets. Berger recommend no less than 1800 fps impact velocity. I think that we could use this number as a pretty safe standard across the board for reliable expansion. The key to any bullet and its performance is to understand its intended purpose and use it accordingly. However, I must say that the TSX has not let me down yet. [/QUOTE]
