[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1256922, member: 30743"] Personally I think the smaller rounds are where the barnes shine. My go to deer rifle is a 6.5x47L that I had throated to shoot the 100 TTSX. I run them at 3100 fps, it shoots them into tiny groups, has almost no recoil, and is an absolute hammer on deer. Keep in mind that where I hunt there is no place I can shoot over 300 yds and this rifle was built with that in mind. 15 years ago there was no bigger barnes hater than me. I hunted with a bunch of guys that shot the original X bullets and spent a lot of time trailing deer shot with them. They were a defective design because they didn't open 100% of the time. Fast forward to now and I love the TTSX and LRX, the plastic tips make all the difference in my mind in initiating expansion and the problem is solved as far as I'm concerned. I still won't shoot the hollow point TSX version, they're supposed to be better than the original X but I want something up there to start expansion. I'm sold on the plastic tipped ones. [/QUOTE]
