Well deer season is 7 months away figure now is a good time to start looking for components. crazy

Looking for Barnes 80 grain TTSX, Nosler 90 grain Accubond, and Nosler 90 grain Etip. Looking to work up a load for deer. No preference but would like to find all three to see what the rifle likes. In my mind 243 is a touch marginal for deer so want to run a tougher bullet. Got partitions but accuracy is not the best. ballistic tips shoot great band I have some but I am on the fence about using them.

Anyways if anyone has some to sell or has a lead on someone that has them in stock would be appreciated.

P.S. I understand the current market.I will pay a slight premium if I must but not bend me over the barrel prices.

Not interested in Swift. Not a fan of them. Yet to have anything shoot Swift very well. Thanks for the offer.
Cant help with availability, but I’d add 95 NOSLER BT to your short list.

My local SW had 85 - 100 partition on the shelf, butt hey were expensive. If you want me to check, pm me.

You’re in luck! 6mm bullets are on the shelves.

I think I’ve seen the ttsx more than most others recently. I don’t see it today but cabelas has had them in stock pretty often.

Use the 95gr ballistic tips without any reservations.
I have some Barnes XFB 95 gr. and a partial box of 85 gr. TSX. Headed out the door right now, but if interested PM me to see if we can agree to a price.

Must be nice. All that is on the shelves around here is 9mm and 277 projectiles.

Any of these work for you, mostly partial boxes.

Partitions don’t seem to conform to my desire for clover leaf groups in my 243 either.

Don’t overlook the Interlock. It’s not gonna win any sexy bullet contests, but it’s time tested, and nearly universal in agreement that it’s a very durable pill. Doesn’t fail the accuracy test either.

After reading this thread it seems a lot of guys have no reservations about using the 95 NBT.

Have a lead on the accubonds. Still looking for the others.



Running a 1:10 1/2 twist so no go on the bergers. I have found them available.

Got nearly that same exact pile. Looking for something other than standard cup and core.

Got both those already.

If you’re running a 10 twist I’d look no further than the 87 grain VLD. It’s a sure enough killer.
