Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Typical Barnes TTSX Performance

I started using Barnes TSX bullets in 2005 when I built my.375 RUM for an African Cape Buffalo hunt. And since 2010 when I built my .300 Weatherby, I've only hunted with Barnes TSX and TTSX bullets with it.

I've taken at least 40 big game animals with those rifles and Barnes TSX and TTSX bullets, but only recovered 8 of those bullets. Some bullets completely passed through the animals, but there were .30 or .375 caliber entrance holes and 3/4" to 1" exit holes. I usually don't spend a lot of effort to find the bullets in the animals.

All of my recovered TSX and TTSX bullets look just like the bullet that the OP posted. Looking at my "pile" of recovered TSX and TTSX bullets, I can't tell which are TSX and which are TTSX.

Here's 3 recovered 168 gr TTSX bullets from critters shot with my .300 Wby.
