Well I have at least 8 boxes of Barnes TSX bullets sitting on my reloading bench and I'll most likely use them for paper weights or Christmas presents to others. I did not purchase these mind you, they were exchanged for past XLC bullets that would not open up either. I will not waste anymore of my time nor money on powder, primers etc when it comes to Barnes bullets.
I don't need to read what others like or dislike, I found out for myself, what I needed to know and that is those TSX bullets do just as the Blue XLC and X bullets did in the past years.....They Don't Open Up!
I am content with spending my hard earned money on premium bullets for a money hunt and those are Nosler, Swift and TBBC bullets. If Barnes truely does fix their bullet problem, I might change my mind toward them but I seriously doubt this, as they been changing things since the mid-90's and still have not gotten it fixed. They do have very good PR work and advertising is top shelf too.
