Not cheaper than the Partition. A little steeper than anticipated.

Not cheaper than the Partition. A little steeper than anticipated. I thought so also but...... On the same web page /link, look at the "Nosler Shop" Partition prices for 30 cal 180. They are 2-3 bucks cheaper than the E-tips. Now look at midway for the NP's price add 2 bucks and that is what the E-tip will cost you when they hit the streets in numbers. Go to Hornady and price their bullets also, same deal way more than Midway and others. I think it is the MSRP thing and they sell them at that price. BTW great write up on this bullet in SEP issue Shooting Times.

Anyone know what the BC is supposed to be on those?
Yep, I'll wait until they are here locally to give them a try.

... TSX I'm coming home baby. Unfortunately the TSX and the new TTSX (see below) will always be plagued with the copper problems that we all know about. The thing I love about the E-tip it's jacket contains Zinc so it shoots, produces pressure, fouls, and has the same accuracy traits as a cup/core slug. http://www.barnesbullets.com/resources/newsletters/bullet-n-archive/august-2007-barnes-bullet-n/ ![[Linked Image]](http://www.barnesbullets.com/images/TippedTSXcombo.jpg)

I love it when marketing is based on 'examples of one'... give it a couple of years and thousands of critters, then we'll see what they're really worth. They're cool looking, that's for sure... and a great concept. But based on the above pictures I think the expanded TSX with pettals missings is a better way to have a projectile end up. I find it' rather ironic that Nosler has chosen to use that image of the TSX bullet as a negitive, when their flagship Partition almost always ends up EXACTLY the same way... front section missing and 60-70% of the shank doing the remaining work. Anyone else notice that? ~JT

I getting sick of trick bullet BS. Speer Hotcors have never failed me even on some tough shots as long as I picked the right weight. I have used the Partitions some but I just don't need what they are trying to sell.

What Steelie is saying is: he...nor I... nor most everyone who's shot the TSX... has experienced any 'copper problems'. Barnes pretty much licked that with the TSX, the XBT was bad, but the TSX actually fouls less than the Nosler Ballistic Tips I shoot out of my .280AI. By that rational... the E-Tip, with its guilding metal construction, should foul more in my rifles than the TSX. Correct?

Pop,
Dude,
How many E-tips have you shot? How many TSX's?
Enthusiasm is fine, but "dude", is right. Let's at least attempt some objectivity..... JMO, Dutch.
