I'm sure that I'm in a relatively small minority here, but am asking for some help. I shoot a .375AI for all of my hunting, and since the early '90's used only Barnes X's. The more recent TSX's including the 250 gr. TTSX leave much to be desired as far as BC, which makes the performance suffer at longer ranges. In speaking with Barnes it appears that unless quite a few emails are received requesting an improved bullet,say around 290 to 310 grains in a TTSX, that it is unlikely that they will venture into producing one. If there is anyone interested in using their .375's(AI's,Chey-Tec's,Weatherby's,ect)for long range hunting/shooting and would consider an X Bullet, maybe with enough interest Barnes may offer a better bullet! Thanks for indulging me in my lengthly request! But, if you never ask!!!!

Thanks, memtb

memtb,

While there are not a lot of choices in "long range" .375 bullets, there is the 300 grain Accubond (bc .485) and although it is not made by Barnes there is nothing on the north American continent and vary little in Africa that could stand up to it.

And Sierra makes a 350 grain Match King bc .805
