The 250 TSX at 2,500 fps is a killer and a Marlin compatible, mid range, Barnes load. That hollow point looks like an ashtray. Blows lung tissue thru the chest, out the other side, hogs and deer. Leaves a blood trail Ray Charles could follow; short tracking.

Even at that speed, the 250 gr doesn’t kick like heavier bullets. And accuracy is very good. And if that one isn’t destructive enough, check out Hammer offerings. They frag. Never used one in a .45-70, but can testify to the Barnes 250.
