Barnes TTSX recovered from elk

[np307]

This was pulled from the opposite shoulder of the spike I killed this year. This is a 168g shot out of a Savage 110 30-06 at roughly 2750 fps. Recovered weight was 167g.

Picture perfect! What was the range?

40 yards

I’ve had nothing but great results with TTSX on elk.

 

[Pmacc60]

Impressive !

Howdy, 40 yards? It is a wonder that you even found the bullet and it didn't pass all the way through and exit into the forest or some place.

I actually shot him multiple times as he was trying to get his footing after the first shot. All in the chest cavity and none exited. I'm assuming its because of how well they opened up.

Doesn't really get any better than that!!

Textbook performance. Nice !

Are those handloads you did yourself or was the ammo bought from a company?

 

[DamascusSteel]

Looks perfect to me!

My handloads

My handloads

I figured as much. Looks like you have some success!

I’ve got a twin to that one from an elk my daughter killed. Same 168 grain but out of a .308. Those bullets work as advertised.

 

[HiMtnHntr]

All the barnes I've recovered look just like that one.

 

[MT_elk]

Awesome!

Yep I shot mine with a 150gr quite a bit further and it was through and through. I shot a mule deer buck with the same bullet and he was facing me and found the bullet just under the skin in the hund quarter

All the ttsx I've recovered looks identical to that. Look forward to taking something with the 7mm ht this year with the barnes. Have been using them in 300wm 168gr.

 

[Ben Long]

That's why I like 'em.

Only shot one animal with a Barnes, a TSX out of a 257 Weatherby. No recovered bullet, exit hole was the size of my fist.
Perfect performance in my book.
