JJH, and others. If barnes tsx fast = devastating. How fast is fast and how light/ cal do you go? I am sure how light/ cal. you can go depends on what it is you are shooting.
I guess maybe a better way to ask the question is what would be your target velocity? For example I have a 7mm-08, 280 ackley and 7mm weatherby. Should I pick the 120 tsx and go for max vel in each? Or pick the bullet that reaches a certain optimum vel. for each case?
Just like everthing in life I would imagine you try to find a nice balance. 120 for the 7mm-08 and 280. 140 gr for 280 and 7mm weath.
