I thought the original X's sucked......terrible fouler, so-so performance (didn't appear to open up every time), decent accuracy at best IME. They sucked so bad in my Mannlicher rifle I searched and found the CT Failsafe's........mucho improvement for me. If I were forced to use a Barnes nowadays it would undoubtedly be the TTSX.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
