[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 440027, member: 2693"] Hit the shoulder, you'll be fine. Considering we are getting the same speed with 150 VLD from a 270, you are certainly shooting a reduced load, AND, you are burning 12-14 more grains of powder doing it. Honestly if 150 yards is a max shot for you, I'd load up that bullet over as much powder as the rifle will take and call it a day so long as you group 5" or less at max distance. In those situations, especially with the Barnes bullets, I want as much speed as the rifle will do safely. I get most concerned about groups if I know I'm going to have a potential shot beyond 300. As to being skeptical with the TTSX, this is understandable. Seems like Barnes bullets are getting a reputation that parallels the nosler btip. Love them or hate them. I've never had either fail or come close to it. They are 2 of my favorite bullets. [/QUOTE]
