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

This I will concede. I tried using the original X bullet in 308 and 30-06. We chronographed several 308 and 30-06 loads and could not get the velocities that standard bullets gave.
I stoped using the barns when thay came out with the blue coating. Hunting mostly white tails, the bullet was really more expensive the need be, having had excellent results with Hornady interlocks.
In reguards to any bullet, TSX, Speer, Nolser ect., I would rather change powders to get the velocities I desire, rather than exceed the recommended max. for a praticular powder by 2 or 3 grains.
I think changing powders was more to your point, and this much I agree with you on.
