Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 257 Weatherby Barnes too fast?

After disappointing results with the older Barnes 'X' bullets, I could never bring myself to use TSX on game. The (now obsolete but I still have some) MRX addressed my concerns by adding the poly tip to help initiate expansion. I've used MRX and TTSX since 2006, as have members of my hunting group, with no drama. Half the animals we've shot have gone straight down, most of the rest have taken just a few steps. One cow I shot went 25 yards but I can't think of any other animal that went nearly that far.

As a result of consistently good results and great accuracy, the tipped Barnes bullets are the ones we use most.
