Title: Barnes 110 TTSX, 7mm-08
Post by: 7mmfan on January 02, 2020, 08:27:55 AM: Anyone have any experience loading these? I'm playing with the idea of test driving a few in my 7mm-08. I'm happy with the performance of the 120's, just thought the 110's with the flat base would be a good option for inside 300 yards, which is where I do 99% of my shooting.

Being that they retain almost all their weight, I can’t see a downside if you want something flat shooting. They have been very accurate in every rifle I’ve used them in.

:yeah: That's solid thinking!
I've had good results using the same concept when loading "light for caliber" TTSX bullets in other rifle calibers.

Good to hear, thanks Dale
