I dont understand all the hoopla in this thread, when they become available, chrono a box of factory loads, reload to that velocity and accept the little cartridge for what it is.
200 fps means nothing in the real world, would I like to be hit with a 110 gr TTSX at:
Look up what velocity those Barnes TTSX need to be going before they expand or instead create a pencil hole. Thats why i hope this round works out. I would like to hunt boar with a 120gr Barnes TTSX. I bought a couple of boxes for my grendel then looked at the reloadding guide and saw the velocities and compared them to the required impact velocity for the Barnes TTSX and shelved the boxes. Can't use them in the Grendel. They simply don't go fast enough.
Iv'e tried to back out of this idiocy.
But here you go, what Barnes says they need to be going not to pencil.
Rule of thumb and thats all. I've run a lot of barnes under what they claim impact speed has to be. Every last one has expanded. And I have seen pictures of some run faster than needed that did not...
phuggin computers are great though ain't they.
Thanks for your experienced input. That said i'll stick with a manufactures recommendations vs what some anonymous person says on a forum post that can't be validated in anyway.
More than welcome to. But I bring real world experience to this conversation, not some computer calculation.
I suspect I may have fired the AR a bit more than most excepting those in combat.
And I've a hair of deer shooting experience since we can shoot from 4 or 5 deer up to however many tags you want to pay for in certain areas.
But by all means go with what you read and calculate.
BTW how are you validating the data the designer is claiming RE this new soon to be out round? Only way you could validate is watch him shoot it or shoot your own over your own chronograph.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
