I ran Federal Trophy Bonded Copper ammo in my Remington 700 BDL 243win. Last year with good results. My question is what bullet is this 85gr. pure copper tipped bullet? Did Federal contracted with Barns Bullets in this load? It looks like a TTSX with a black tip instead of a blue tip like the 80gr, TTSX bullet.Looked at Barns and they only offer a 85gr. TSX and not a 85gr. TTSX. Just loaded some test loads in the 80gr. TTSX with RL17 with Federal Large Rifle Match primer. I seated the 80gr. TTSX the same COAL as the factory ammo. Hopefully I can get the same results as the factory Federal Trophy Bonded ammo.

Nothing like a Remington 700xcr.
