... Max 400 yards and expect to be even closer on my shots like 2-300. Knowing this, I am wanting to hedge my bets with a super stout heavy bullet and wanted to get your thoughts.
Assuming BC and long range is not a concern, and assuming all of these bullets shoot well - which would you pick. BTW, I will be pushing these all in the 3100-3150 FPS range.
150 grain Nosler Partition - leaning this way
150 grain Swift A Frame - no experience with them
150 Barnes TSX - Not sure if I can push these as fast as the others
After experiencing problems with the original 'X' bullets, I could never bring myself to use the TSX on game,even though they are accurate in ever rifle I've tried them in. The tipped but now obsolete MRX worked very well, as have the TTSX and my group uses them a lot.
The Partition and A-Frame are excellent choices. B.C. on the A-Frame should not be a problem at 400 yards. I've used Speer Grand Slams for decades and they have a profile similar to the A-Frame.
Put a 'T' in front of the 'TSX' and use whichever of the three shoots best.
