[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2766511, member: 313"] I give Barnes a lot of credit for starting the copper bullet revolution. But I've got to admit that their earlier bullets didn't impress me much. They created high pressure, resulted in heavy bore fouling and lung hit deer often had no reaction to the shot. They walked off like they weren't hit and then fell over dead. As they improved the designs, much better results were observed, and I still use a few of the TTSX bullets today. In particular, I like their 300TTSX in my 458SOCOM and the little 130gr .308 bullet is just amazing in my .308Win. However, I've was bitten by the Hammer bug a few years ago and use mostly Hammers for my hunting lately. [/QUOTE]
