Default RE: Barnes TSX triple shock.

Red - I don't dispute your endorsement of the TSX for .30 caliber Super Magnums. But like Old Elk Hunter said, they seem to be at their best at muzzle velocities over 3100/3200; and below that there are lots of regular bullets that work really well. I have probably learned more, cumulatively, in the last 30 years from my customers than my customers have learned from me - and quite a few of these customers want no part of the earsplitten loudenboomer super magnums. They are unbearably loud and have a very harsh recoil impulse. And they are probably a waste for shots inside of 300 yards. And there probably aren'teven 10% ofshooters who have the skill to responsibly shoot beyond this distance.

So although I agree with the logic of using these bullets for high performance hunting rifles, the package as a whole is not for everyone. Regards. Roskoe
