[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 1392123, member: 10723"] I have loaded and shot Barnes TSX and TTSX bullet in many different guns over a 10-15 year period. I have found they are very accurate bullets in all the guns I have loaded them. You need to play with the seating depth. I have also shot some game with them. I have found that you need to load bullets that have less weight than lead bullets and you need to drive them faster in order for them to open up. Example I loaded a 80 grain TTSX in a .243 Win for my grandson and he shot a buck at about 45 yards that never took a step, this bullet was traveling at about 3300 ft/ sec. I have shot a couple of deer with my 260 Rem using 120 TTSX bullets and they performed fine. However, I shot a small deer with my 7mm Rem mag with a 160 grain TSX and this was not the load for small deer. It was my elk load but it shot so well I tried it on deer and the bullets just penciled through without opening up. I got the deer but it took more than one shot. What specific things do you want to know and what does your friend say for the reason to stay away from them. [/QUOTE]
