[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1868010, member: 94491"] I know a guy who tested quite a few of the TSX vs same weight TTSX in dead hog carcass for expansion -- despite the claims of Barnes that say "the tip" helps the ttsx expand faster" --- he found that the TSX actually expanded to a larger diameter and down to slower speeds than the comparable weight TTSX (he did test the 130, 16&168 but not the 150's)-- makes you look at the barnes claim of " the tip makes it expand faster" --- faster than what? actually they state that "the tip initiates rapid expansion" I cant seem to find on their web page the "expands faster" claim any more out of my 1:10 twist 16" barrel 308w-- my accuracy node is 2850 with the 130 tsx, and 2600 with the 150 tsx -- I was able to hit 2930 with the 130's and 2680 with the 150's but was not happy with the accuracy at those speeds You might also consider the 124 Hammer hunter, 152 HH or 166 HH too, they are more accurate than the barnes in my rifle and are also CA legal [/QUOTE]
