Ok, I'm not interested in starting a bullet arguement here, but I'd like to here from some experienced shooters who have done some playing with these bullets in gun such as my 7mmSTW.

Without getting into any specific about powders and loads, which would take all day, I just wanted to ask how do these bullets group for you guys at 300 yds ? I only have access to that long of a range, and I can honesly say, I cannot get 140 TSX's to group under 4-5" at 300 yds. in my Sendero. I have tried 3 different powders, and what gets me is that I can get these loads to literally shoot 5 shots in one ragged hole at 100 yds consistently. But out at 300, it just goes to hel. My velocites are anywhere from 3350-3520 depending on what powder and charge I try. The velocites that average in the 3400 range are giving me the best groups at 100yds.

I shot them right next to my 140 gr Accubonds, and I got some nice 1.5"-1.75" groups with those at 300 yds. So I honeslty don't think I can blame myself as far as technique goes. I was consistenly inconsistent with the TSX's, as opposed to the Accubonds,which performed well for me...and consistently.

Another thing that made me wonder is that with both bullets at a 3400 fps velocity,and sighted in at 2.5" high at 100, the TSX's shot nearly 3" lower than the Accubonds. I know they have a lower BC than the Accubonds, but can it be that much slower than the Noslers ? Or is that just a POI difference ?

I'm considering a 160 TSX, but with the season 6 weeks away or so, I may just stick with the accubonds.

I'm by no means knocking the Barnes bullets. I've seen what they do on deer, and liked the results, so I decided to try them.But so far, I can't say I'm impressed with the accuracy they offer at longer ranges.

Anybody have any similar/different experiences ?
