RE: BARNES TRIPLE SHOCK BULLETS?
I for one have been shooting the TSX bullets for a little over a year now and have been more than pleased with their terminal performance. I first had some loaded for my 260 last year in 120 grain boat tail and have had absolutely no accuracy problems. I have been a huge Nosler Partition fan for years and I shot several hogs and a couple of deer with the TSX's and Ican say that on the big hogs that I have shot with them, I have yet to find a bullet that performs better. I shot completely through 2 hogs standing side by side and still saw the dirt fly where the bullet continued on it's way after passing through both hogs. Performance was no better or worse on broadside shots on deer than my NPs but ina marginal shotor larger game, they will almost guarantee not to fail.
I recently purchased someCor Bon DPX loads with a 53 grain TSX for my 22-250 for my young daughter to deer hunt with. This past weekend I shot 2 hogs, (1) 175# boar shot just below the eye and he dropped in his tracks and the bullet was a clean pass through. The other was a 250+# sow that I shot low in the neck and it exitedthrough the shoulder plate/leg area on the opposite side. This is with a 53 grain 22 caliber bullet at 140 yards. I do not know of any other bullet that can boast that kind of performance.
Needless to say, I'm extremely happy with the TSX. It is all I willload in my .223, 22-250, 260 & 450 Marlin. I can't wait to shoot a pig with a 300 grain TSX out of my 450 Marlin.
