Barnes TTSX Question

[Watimberghost]

Do they sell barnes ttsx in 140 grain for the 270 win?

It looks like I'm only seein them up to 130 grain online. But have read a post or two on other forums claiming 140 grain for 270 win.

Thanks for your input

I've only found them in TSX. Always wanted to compare a 140TTSX to a 140 Accubond but i'm pretty sure the are not made.

110 and 130 grain only in 270.

95, 110 and 130 so far.  Don't think you would want a 140 Barnes anyway, would you?  They drop in performance so fast once you fall below 2,600 fps I'd think 130 would be as much as I would want.  Still going to penetrate better than most 150 grain lead core bullets.  I've been unable to get good results in accuracy with the 95, but the 110 has been fantastic.  Thinking I might use it to whack a bear this year

Appreciate the replys. I have loaded 140 tsx and they've worked really well. I'll give the 130 a go and work up a couple different loads and compare. Thanks guys

If you're wanting to target deer, the TTSX in 130 grain are awesome.  Exactly what I use.

[Watimberghost]

Yes, my 270 loads will be for deer. Mainly high country use. I haven't used the 270 for elk since I got my 300 wby in '09. I'm thinking these 130 grain ttsx's will be great!

They are devastating to be quite frank.

I worked up a load for the 130ttsx and they shot really good out of my savage .270.   I ended up staying with the 150 grain partitions for knock down power beyond 300 yards.   

If you are interested, take a look at the second page for my info and groups.

The 150's are Nosler Partitions.  You can also get the Nosler Accu bonds in 150 which would be a great choice.  Pretty much every store with reloading components should have them. 

Check out the ballistics on each bullet and you will see the 150 carry more kinetic energy at longer ranges.

You can find them online too....of course paying shipping sucks.

All I see over 130 grain online is Bergers, Speer Grand Slams, and Swift A Frames. (All of which are good bullets)
