That would be a different opinion than held by the ballisticians at Barnes, and everyone I know who shoots TSX's in a multitude of calibers and cartridges. It was true of the old Barnes X and XBT bullets, which I began shooting in about 1994, but it is not true of the TSX's. That being said, Barnes #3 shows at or just over 2900 fps with 120 gr X bullets and H 414 or Re 15 loads. And I don't think anyone is prepared to suggest that TSX's produce more pressure than X's...

Speer and several other 120 grain cup and core bullets have significantly more bearing surface than do TSX's -- pretty easy to see.

You, of course, should do what you like -- but you're wrong about TSX's in the .260.
