Anyone had any experience with Barnes 180 grain ttsx in the 358 win and pigs, if so will they do a job in the front shoulder or do i need to neck/head shoot them?

No, but the Shock Hammer 178 gr is a killer. It may be softer than the TTSX, opens well and exits WT's. They reportedly have less resistance down the bore due to their patented scalloped driving bands. They're more expensive but I like them. https://hammerbullets.com/product/358-cal-178g-shock-hammer/DF

Shot all of these with the 180 TTSX, blew right through them 50 to 150 yards. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/L60rDc7x/2678634-E-CCB5-4-E8-D-8-D56-C258-CA2-B093-C.jpg)

So my guy did not get the loads done for me for 358 win, but did get them done in 358 norma and I took them to the range with a 98 mauser build, noticed a couple thing, very flat between 50 and 100 yards, and in a sporter contour barrel there was limited temperature gain in the barrel. This gun is going to be a sausage maker LOL

I believe Barnes don’t “expand” they just uncurl the petals
Perhaps with the normas velocity and going through bone the petals broke off.
