Yes, we've run the 130 T and TTSX from a 30-06 a lot. It is great medicine. Run it faster, then step on it to make it go faster yet. It is an amazing killer at ranges from shoestring to 435 yards. Have never recovered one yet but they've always done plenty of damage.
We have started experimenting with the 110 and now 120 black tips meant for the Blackout, only run hot and fast from an -06. So far, they are impressive. Open up wider than the TTSX, yet do all the same great penetration. They for sure leave larger exit wounds than the 130. The 120 will probably be our go-to bullet for awhile unless something more amazing comes along. I like wide wound channels that run deep from a monometal. The 120 gives that and shoots flat too.
DD,
Thanks for the info. That is pretty much what I expected. If the 130’s are good in a .308, they should be even better in a .30-06. Since I do not currently hand load, I will hold out hope that Barnes will start loading some factory .30-06 in 130 gr. TTSX’s. Until then, I will keep on shooting the 150’s. I certainly can’t complain about the results thus far.
