Can't imagine any responsible hunter purchasing bullets, loaded or otherwise, without knowing or reviewing thoroughly each and every bullet that he/she was contemplating using on any game animal. Barnes site offers clear, concise, easy to understand descriptions of each bullet they produce. Even the most 'Nervous Nellie' could have had any and all concerns alleviated by just reading the descriptions of any bullet you were thinking about purchasing.You don't have to be a bullet expert, handloader or whatever to take 5 minutes to read the manufacturers description. To be so confused to cause yourself such an anxiety attack tells the whole story as do the comments telling you to 'just relax'.Had you put out the least effort that one can do to find out the specifics of each of the bullets you chose, your thread would have been reduced by 4/5's and your panic attack thinking that somehow you had chosen a 'ballistic' type bullet would never have occured.Do your homework first as is only prudent and responsible, rather than what you obviously chose to do. You don't need to be a handloader or bullet expert to accomplish any of the above. You just have to be able to read and comprehend no more than a paragraph of the english language.

The ttsx is probably a slightly better choice for longer range shooting to the poly tip giving it a slight edge in b.c. and a little bit better expansion over the regular tsx. Besides those two points I think they are both great choices for elk inside 300 yards out of the .270. Im a partition guy myself nowadays but I'd like to try those 110 grain ttsx at 3400 fps out of my gun and I really wouldn't hesitate to shoot an elk with them either.
