[QUOTE="daka, post: 1954677, member: 55706"] Love factory 140 TSX in 270WSM. Used barnes on most of the calibers I run for hunting and never looked past. That being said I was not really long range hunter by any means until recently and will start experimenting with Berger and Accubond. If you really look for factory ammo then 130TTSX are great for distances you are planning to shoot. Aim for the shoulder and if hit right everything should be found where shot with Barnes. Minimal meat damage, instant kills and no lead all over the meat. Moose hunt in Northern Ontario, buddy shot corelok 180gr from his 300WinMag. And recovered bullet was about 120gr. Mostly jacket and bottom core. Third of the bullet's lead went into the meat. Cow I shot with 168gr TTSX 300WSM, recovered bullet from other shoulder was 167.and a change. Which means minus a blue tip that was found on a fur above entry wound. While ago I shot a red stag with Federal Soft point and it made a devastating meat damage inside, never used soft point after that ever again. There is no comparison in prices for bullet that will be used for meat hunting, it is way more damage you are causing than what you are saving on a bullets. For target and varmin, yes it makes sense but for hunting I would take really good bullets that are not soft point and good bonded or solid bullets. [/QUOTE]
