Nice group👍

Just have to know how to load them.  I can get the same group with 165gr. Accubonds but .030 seat depth.

And Accubond terminal performance is second to none!

I've killed both deer and bear with Nosler Accubonds and Barnes TTSX's.  Hands down Barnes out performs the Accubonds.  I still shoot both but much better penetration with the Barnes.

Just don’t care for the the crap BC of a Barnes and the junk they leave in a barrel. But hey at the average distance most game is taken , under 200 yards. Any bullet will work, for across the board shooting from A-Z. Point blank to beyond 600 yards. I’ll take the Accubond every time. There are only two reason I would shoot a Barnes type bullet. Super fast chamberings such as the .257 Weatherby Magnum because a light bullet at those speeds needs to be stout, especially in close. To prevent bullet failures on high velocity impacts and in the case of big bores when you need a stout bullet for penetration due to the fact that whatever your shooting can eat or stomp your hindend. Then in those two cases I wouldn’t even shoot a Barnes. I would shoot a CEB or in most cases now. I would go with one of the flavorings Hammer Bullets is offering. Now that Hammer Bullets is cranking out a bigger selection of bullets with a better design and way higher BC’s than Barnes.  I see the serious been there done that crowd swaying Hammers way in the future and they don’t copper the heck out of your bore and they are way more forgiving and less finicky when it comes to seating depth.

Several head of African plains game downed with the TTSX. All 1 shot, bullets exhibited perfect performance with most just under skin on off side. Accubonds and Partitions would have shown similar performance possibly, maybe not..but the Barnes worked perfectly, every shot, every time👍. Have had the same performance every time here in the states on mulies, elk, and bear.real world performance and proof proven by experience. Says alot
