160 Grns Barnes TSX bullets on game
jeepasaurusrex:
.270win loaded with 130gr Barnes TSX into 3/4" plate steel. (gold color hole)
12Gauge:
It seems to be penetrating about 1/2 inch or so. Wow!, I like the two eye balls.
jeepasaurusrex:
Of the two shots in the upper right, the left one came within 1/8" of punching all the way through. 8)
12Gauge:
I got 10 rounds of the 160 grains loaded up. I will shoot/test them this coming weekend for pressure, accuracy and penetration; at Fort Lewis rifle range there is a steel plate out at three hundred yards. I also have 140 grains on order from MidwayUSA, these bullets are spendy, but I think it is worth it.
Intruder:
I've used the TSX for several years and have been extremely impressed with there performance. I think very highly of them..... their weight retention and increased speeds make them very good choice. I think going 140 would be a good choice because of increased velocity.
As far as opening up.... I can't speak to what it really takes but I have heard that Barnes has change the alloy mix to make them open easier. That being said I think a 140 going faster may still a better choice.
