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

The only TTSX I’ve managed to catch was this 80 gr. bullet fired out of a .243 at approximately 100 yards into the axis deer pictured. He was broadside but taking off at the moment of trigger pull resulting in a liver shot. He went about 60 yards and piled up in the middle of the largest cactus patch anywhere nearby. The bullet was bulging the hide out on the opposite side for easy recovery during cleaning.

Every other TTSX I’ve witnessed on deer exited - even on angles requiring more penetration and entering at lower velocities due to longer ranges.

It’s the only bullet we use for hunting critters we want to recover in .223 and .243.
