I’m also thinking about the 85gr Barnes TSX. Any experience/thoughts with this bullet would be helpful. I’m just a little concerned about expansion as it isn’t a tipped bullet.
Elk Country
I've shot a bunch of deer and coyotes with the 243Win/85TSX combo @ 3200fps. Longest kill on a deer so far is 425yds and the wound channel looks just like it does @ 100yds.
What did they look like? size, etc?
I shot one with the tipped 80 from a 243 at 125 yards, broadside through both lungs and centered the heart. The wound channel was very narrow with little cavitation at all. That deer went over 100 yards with no blood trail.
