why would i shoot a 168 TSX at 308win velocities at a deer?

thats just not taking true advantage of the TTSX bullet design...

the consensus on ttsx (whcih open more reliably and faster than the tsx) is shoot light for caliber and drive as fast as possible


i would bet your finding with the 130 TTSX out of the 308win at 3100 fps or the 110 TTSX at 3400fps would differ from the 168 TSX at pedestrian speeds..

i welcome your thoughts on this but from my seat the study was designed for the barnes to lose...a 168 CNC and a 168 mono are different animals




When I use a Barnes they are light for caliber. Matter of fact I would probably choose the 110gr Blackout bullet in both. 308's and 300 WM if I wanted a Barnes in 30cal. However I choose bullets that will work across the entire spectrum of a particular rifles range. That means at least 600 yards for big game rounds. The BC and terminal ballistics of Barnes bullets is not optimum for lower velocity impacts nor do the kill as quickly as others at any range.
