What is everyone experience with Barnes TTSX bullets and in what calibers.
I have shot them the past couple years out of .260, .270 and 7mm Rem Mag with very mixed results. Been shooting them primarily because of availability over my favored Accubonds. Both shoot very good out of my .270 and 7mag and the TTSX shoot slightly better out of my model 7 .260. Over the past years we have been able to shoot several bucks with the TTSX bullets and have had pass throughs on all but exit holes very unimpressive. The ones which have ran have resulted in little if any blood at all. Anyone else experience similar with these? Appears they are holding together too well without proper expansion. In the lands of pine thickets I hunt, we need all the help we can get when they do run even short distances.
Seems most people love these bullets but I have luckily been able to source enough accubonds recently to make the move away from the Barnes for now.
