Default RE: Barnes Triple Shock

With the XLC coated bullet it takes a couple more grains to get to the same velocity as you get with x or triple shock bullets. In my loads I could get about 3 grains more in my loads than with the x and the velocity was about 100fps better at max.

With the triple shock the grains in my loads and the velocity was just slightly above the x bullet. Half a grain more powder and 40fps on average more velocity.
Accuracy was MUCH better than I got with the X or XLC.

I have only shot one animal with the triple shock so far, a coyote at 460 paces with my 25-06 100gr bullet.
Caliber sized hole going in and a 2" hole going out. Great performance at that distance.

I can't wait to give the 180's a try in my 300 win mag. Should be an excellent elk bullet, as performance is supposed to equal the x bullet.
