Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Is the Barnes TTSX that good?

.338 cal 160 TTSX at over 3k works fabulously. But the 'eat to the hole' idea is certainly not accurate. They make a complete mess of shoulders on close shots. 185 TTSX worked well too, but left surprisingly small exits especially considering the internal damage. Only used 180 BT on one bull elk and it worked, but did not penetrate like the TTSX (again, data point of one...). Partition is really just a soft bullet with a piece that keeps going. Hard to not like that. A 180 PT out of a 308 left a nice silver dollar sized exit hole and essentially removed the heart of a whitetail.
