[QUOTE="valleyloader, post: 1015687, member: 73166"] Don't be afraid of the Barnes TTSX I have been using them exclusively on whitetails in PA since they were first released. I load them in 243, 30-06, 280, and 300WM and Performance has been excellent from 25 to 500 yards I have always had great expansion, if the deer didn't drop right there they only went a few yards before expiring even with less than desirable shot placement. At 500 yards the 243 is traveling at 1850 Fps, although I didn't recover the bullet the exit wound was about 1.5" after going through the ribs which tells me the bullet performed as desired. I did recover a bullet from both the 280 and 30-06 which were fired at deer directly facing me the bullets entered through the brisket and were resting on the femur. Both bullets looked like the Barnes advertisements. [/QUOTE]
