Jorge, your a poser pure and simple. By your own admission you have very limited time to hunt. And when you do it involves someone holding your hand, a game farm or something else along those lines.
Which has nothing to do with the fact that Barnes TTSX are the best bullets ever made. They work on any game any way you hunt it.
SCI? sorry, not a member. And YOU are a "player"? tsk, pardon me whilst I laugh my ass off... Nice hyperbole BTW..

BS.

Boy am I glad I mostly shot Partitions and BBC's.......
True story, I was in a Sportsman's Warehouse buying some deer bullets, 130 partitions for my .270, a classic big game killer if there ever was one.
TTSXs had just come out. The 20-something kid behind the counter told me the partitions were no good for deer, and I should get the super-duper new Barnes TTSX, because the plastic tip had vastly improved the BC and therefore the bullet.
I said "is that so?" Followed by "wait a minute" and went and got another box of partitions and put it on the counter. "Ring me up."
Arguing which bullet is "best" is really a waste of time, they all have their niche. A Barnes may be best for a high velocity cartridge and close-in shots. But not for longer distances in mild cartridges.

Agreed! I have not done a lot of chasing unless I screwed up and didn't hit where I shoulda....which happens to us all!
Edit: none, but two buffalo but again irrelevant...
None. But you're an expert nonetheless. Just like with elk.
Only a true dipschit would introduce the topic of dangerous game in a discussion of elk bullets.
NEVER ever did I claim to be an expert on elk. I merely (and correctly, a concept you habitually fail to grasp) that an elk is no different than any other 800~ ruminant. As to the dangerous game "introduction", I was merely pointing out the STUPIDITY of your post referencing solids:

And there's plenty more of your "absolutisms" declaring C&C bullets cause more damage than TTSXs EVERY TIME, which are equally idiotic. This is all absurd really, I can ask guys like Hatari with elephant, hippo and buffalo to this credit to chime in and embarrass you further, but you're doing a great job on your own. Lastly, the noshitsherlock, clearly overtasked your pointy headedness. Try writing those three words verbatim and see what comes up.
Carry on smoking your pole...Say, you're not Ron Jeremy are you?

And that kid's statement is just as stupid as your claims TTSXs never cause as much internal damage as Partitions in every case... As to your statement (in bold), this might come as a surprise to you, but that is EXACTLY what I've said and have been saying all along and if I didn't agree with it, I would not have a wall full of animals killed with Partitions.

Thanks Bob..I'd like to point out to sooth BWalkeer, that no one was holding my hand on the one killed at long range with the Barnes..Got lucky i guess?
Beautiful bulls, sir. You live in a beautiful state! J
