[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1100366, member: 33822"] I shoot Barnes TTSX in my rifles that I hunt with from short out to medium range. I shoot Accubonds in my rifles where I will shoot at animals near and far, in my experience they are the most versatile. I shoot Berger's where I know it's very unlikely to shoot something up close. All 3 of those bullets shoot extremely well out of all my rifles. So far the longest shot I have ever taken at an animal is 630 yards with a TTSX. 1 shot DRT. Quartering shot that hit the leading shoulder hard, passed through the heart/lungs and completely passed through diagonally a very large bodied 330 class bull. But if you only shoot at the lunges and avoid the shoulder, like MudRunner mentioned, the Bergers are devastating. Once velocity drops, the Barnes bullets will not come close to the tissue damage through the lungs compared to a Berger or an Accubond. There are tradeoffs with every bullet, and we all have to choose the bullet that best fits our own personal style of hunting. [/QUOTE]
