The other picture I posted on that thread in question.
A FMJ will work.... Monometal bullets give up wound channel size for penetration. A look at any bullet test data that compares them to other bullets proves this. That's why many the Barnes cultist recommend lighter weight bullets and fast velocity. On top of this The TSX and earlier generation Barnes had quit a few instances of failure to expand. The TTSX was suppose to cure this, but there ave been a few documented failures to expand on this site.
I still use Barnes under certain circumstances like smaller guns and bigger critters. For 300 mags I have zero reservations in regards to using the 180 BT and have done so with great results. And by great results, I dont mean a Rost tracking party.
That 's funny! I use 180 grain TSX & TTSX in both the 300 win and the 30/06 without having any drama or long tracking jobs. Am I just lucky or what? Those that I know and hunt with must be lucky as well. I dropping an antelope in its tracks at 777 lasered yards with the 180 TSX bullet.
Can't see what they are lacking.
