I've been working up a load with the 130gr TSX in my 30.06 and yesterday i dug some out of my backstop and thought i would share the pics. My target is at 100yds pinned to a piece of 1/2" plywood with a big dirt mound behind it. There's lots more bullets in the mound but it was getting late and i didn't have time to dig anymore out. I can't individually identify the soft points in the pics but this is whats been shot in the mound.
30.06 Hornady 130gr sp, 150gr sst, sierra 150gr spitzer
270 130gr sierra spitzer
243 100gr spitzer, rem 100 psp
25.06 nosler 115gr par, 110gr accubond, sierra 117gr gk, hornady 117gr btsp, speer 120gr spitzer
I thought it would be cool to compare the pics. The tsx looks like it holds up very well, some have a nice mushroon and some don't. One thing for sure though they do stay together. I did find some pieces of pedals but i also seen bullets that had been hit by other bullets which could be the cause. I have several promising loads worked up with this bullet and look forward to shooting a deer with the barnes tsx and see how well they perform. The ones that are nicely mushroomed weighed an average of 128.9 - 129.5. Mike
