Ha! I was just discussing how overrated barnes' are with a guy at work today.
I've slowly become a fan of the .224" 62 grain TSX after a rocky start, but that's about it.


Not sure how to say it politely, but both of y’all are full of bovine dung (How’s that?)


I gotta agree with Greg. Barnes bullets unless driven at warp speed aren’t worth Dung and then they still aren’t that impressive. Much rather shoot a Hammer bullet for Monos AKA a copper Berger style bullet.



Not sure of exactly what “warp speed” is, but have had extremely good success (dating back to the original X bullet of the early ‘90’s) with TSX’s with a muzzle velocity of 2900 FPS. Mine in particular had low BC’s.....but somehow managed to kill very effectively to 400 yards and a bit beyond! memtb
