[QUOTE="valleyloader, post: 1262504, member: 73166"] Here are some bullets that I've recovered over the past 8 years of using Barnes bullets exclusively for deer. The first two bullets are .308 150 grain ttsx fired from a 30-06 at 3050 fps mv. The third bullet is a .284 140 grain tsx fired from a 280 rem at 2900 fps mv. The tsx was only used one season and I switched to the ttsx after seeing the limited expansion (it also lost one petal which is likely the cause for reduced weight retention). I was told by Barnes tech support that the ttsx has a deeper cavity and would provide more expansion on smaller game such as deer. I have either killed or seen killed dozens of deer with the ttsx and most have dropped or ran only a short distance. Most bullets are not recovered, these few were from a lengthwise shot. My experience with Barnes has been very positive, even the two deer killed with the 280 loaded with the tsx were humanely harvested and the bullets did their job. I just like having the extra insurance of the expansion in the event that a marginal shot happens. [/QUOTE]
