Everything I’ve seen shot with a Barnes.... including the TSX, TTSX, and LRX... has gone down within 25 yards or so. That includes: Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Blacktail Deer, black bears, Elk, Antelope, coyotes, and a few unfortunate badgers.... from powder-burn range to about 500 yards. Every single one exited, and I only recall shooting one deer twice.... but only because it was still standing after I reloaded. High velocity exit wounds are very devastating!
On the Sierra GC.... I was impressed with the performance on the one antelope buck I shot with a 90 grainer via .243. It exited, and the buck went down after about 2 steps. They have a way better BC than the Accubond, and seem similar in performance.
