If your rifle prefers 120 grain bullets, why not go with the
Barnes Tipped TSX in 120 grain, or split the difference with their 127 gr LRX? Just a thought.
Thanks for the suggestion, AggieDog. I would really love to try some 100gr Barnes TTSX in my 6.5s but I just can't bring myself to pay the price. A box of fifty 6.5mm TTSX costs about $37. I can buy a box of 100 Speer, Hornady, or Sierras for under $25. I look at the Barnes bullets every time I go to buy bullets but I just cannot do it. Guess I'm a cheap bastid. Randy and Connie are just gonna have to make their retirement off someone else. I don't doubt they are fine bullets. In fact, I was really excited when the TTSX came out and was one of the first on the 'fire to post about them. I have actually used a few in my 300 RUM and 30-378 mag, and they shot really well, but I only used them because of the light speed of those calibers and their tendency to make mere mortal bullets splash like a raindrop.
