Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Is the tsx to hard??

I loaded some 130gr tsx in my 270 wsm 65gr. of re-22 worked real well in it but anyway some guys say they think it will be to hard for deer sized game (at any range) I have normaly only shot seirra pro-hunter 130gr. they do the trick but I could not get the velocity I wanted

Tell the guys that they are idiots.

Better yet, ask about all the deer they have killed with said bullet.

Experience trumps guessing........

Some people are just ate up with it!!!!!

Solheim, if you dont like the 130gr TSX send them to me! I will use them.. Right now you are setup with a flat shooten rifle for deer and elk! Its a danm good combo.... I run the 140 TSX in my 270 wsm....

Solheim, they's work and do the job just fine. IMO they're not really needed. I use them a quite a bit as I want to load just one bullet one load per gun (4 the most part) and with the variety of game I hunt for me it just makes sense.

Bottom they'll do you just fine and have no worries about them.

If I read your post right it kind of sounded like you thought you might be able to get the 130 TSX to fly faster than the Sierra 130 and that my friend is just not gonna work out.

I'd say use them if wish to but not with the idea that they'll fly any faster, if that's what you really meant.

I was exposed to a rich fella that was told to ask me to help. His complaint was, he shoots a Browning 270 WSM and had never had seen deer run off after the shot, lost a nice one. When he called I told him that I bet I knew what bullet he used and I said Barnes, he said yep.

I switched him to the 130 Accubond, and now he thinks I can walk on water.

If you hunt heavy animals use the Barnes, or if you shoot small calibers. They are about the best made for these situations.

Anything from 264 up, do yourself a favor and pick the winner........

Nosler Accubond.

Bahawwwwwawwaa

Really?

Yep

Live and learn.......

Tim, why is the Accubond a better bullet for deer than the TSX for 6.5mm bullets and up?

Why are the TSX`s better?

Maybe I can put you in touch with the rich fella. He can answer it best.

Over .264, granted the under collection is more extensive..

Tim,

What is it that you've experienced that a Accu can do better than a TSX?

Thx
Dober

No lead for one.
Less blood shot meat.
Less damage to the cape.
Better penetration.
Thats just what I have seen with the 10 or 12 animals I have killed or seen killed....

Scott, is that an Alaskan moose or a BC moose?

Thx
Dober

Alaska, many years ago.

Dober, I don`t shoot the little pieces of [bleep].

I shoot Accubonds.

I cannot say.

I can say they group horrible, B.C`s are akin to the head of a penis.

That said, mine will cut the right she-media just fine and dandy.

Yep, knowing trumps guessing.........
