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

Here is a 270 gr. Barnes TSX bullet, recovered from a bull Nilgai taken at 200 yards with my .375 Ruger. Bullet was just under the hide on the off side, entrance was tight against the shoulder. Bull dropped in its tracks.
Later in the evening at dinner, another hunter asked about my bullet and shot- when I told him it was a Barnes TSX, he stated that he doesn't use them because they just 'pencil through' game. I then reached in my pocket and showed him the bullet- the conversation quickly shifted to other topics.
I have used Barnes bullets, both TSX and TTSX, on a variety of game for a number of years, with never a complaint about performance.
