[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2369672, member: 117774"] I went to speer Grand Slams after the partitions and then when the TSX Barnes bullets came out I started using them. The first big game animal with them was a 6X6 bull at 125 yds. the broadside lung shot from the 284 win at 2985 FPS 140 Gr went thru and broke ribs going in and out. As the bull ran towards me I noticed blood spurting out both sides! during field dressing the wound channel was about 4" diameter all the way across the body cavity - lungs were mush. I shot 20 more animals with that bullets - deer and elk and only recovered one - a head on shot with a blacktail at 40 yds. Bullet was recovered in the hip - perfect 4 petal mushroom. In my 300 WSM, the 168 TTSX groups best and it has taken 4 elk and 5 or 6 deer. only one has been recovered and that was from stopping a wounded bull that someone else in our party shot earlier. that bullet hit the spine and turned 180 and went the rest of the way heal first and lodged in the far shoulder - stopping the bull from escaping. I've been happy with the performance of the Barnes TTSX and TSX bullets now for about the past 15 years, but due to the great press of the Hammer bullets, I'm giving them a try. I do make loads for several friends and out of the 20 or so rifles we used the barnes bullets in, they seem to group as good or better than anything else and I have over 100 different bullets and that includes many calibers from .223 remington to 338 Win Mag.
