Firstcoues--I couldn't quite follow your offer. Do I pay shipping or do you? It would make a BIG difference in my willingness to accept your offer.
Brad--Do you know what noise a tire made out of elk hide would make when it went flat?
Wapiti wapiti wapiti. I will gladly pay shipping... I will even include a couple of bucks for gas to drive to the post office!

I have fired one TTSX at an Elk. It was a cow and she expired within 30 yards. While I have never been a big fan of Barnes stuff I must admit that I loved the performance of the TTSX. I think Barnes got this one right and I will continue to use them. While they don't always exit, their interior destruction is hard to argue with.

Is owning an 8mm caliber like owning a De Soto. {spelling}

Good analogy. We've all heard of them, but never actually owned one, and don't feel the worse for it. 
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

In keeping with the theme, I recovered these 120g TTSX from a hillside of granite behind my 100 yard target. Fired from my 7-08AI at MV 3,170. I was surprised by the lack of deformity in the little blue tip. Looking forward to testing on softer targets. ![[Linked Image]](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u37/Dirtybob1/100_2118.jpg)

I wished Barnes would expand the TTSX line - downward, and upward. I'd love to see a boatailed tipped 250 gr in 375.

I always have to suffer too when new bullts come out because I like weird calibers. I want at 120gr .264 and a 225gr .358 TTSX. Not that I've had issues with the regular TSX in both calibers but the TTSX's look cool!

I pretty much want the same thing. I'd go light for caliber in my .260 and wish for a 100 grain TTSX, and I'd like to see a 200 gr .358 TTSX. Of course, I'm waiting too, for a .224 TTSX. I think I'll email Barnes and tell them to hurry up...I know there's a market in at least two countries!
