Nosler Partition or Barnes TTSX

[freu1chr]

Which bullet would you guys rather use on western game? TTSX has less wind drift and more energy than a partition but i feel like the partition would expand better on elk and deer. trying to decide which one would be better...... I have never used a full copper bullet anyone with some experience let me know what you think of them.

Barnes hands down.
Shoot them fast and stay off the lands.

 

[shoots-straight]

Barnes TTSX all the way.

Hammer. Of course. mtmuley

I sold 1,000 pcs of Barnes and bought Hammers. Zero copper foul, accurate, and they leave a contrail...

Can't speak to a Partition but decades of dead animals doesn't lie.

partition for me, the question is are you going to be able to drive the barnes fast enough?

Why would that be the question?

I won’t use anything but Accubonds or Partitions.

I used Partitions for years, and they worked fine. Then went Barnes when my hunting buddy/game butcher touted their performance. They worked better.

Now everything is Hammer. Remember Barnes isn't owned by Barnes any more.

Between the two listed, TSX.

 

[Redman]

I have used both with 0 issues both are reliable and kill with authority. It just comes down to do you want to go unleaded. I chose to after meeting with Leland Brown and Chris Parish at hunter Ed instructor training. Their presentation made a believer out if me!

 

[mtmuley]

Now everything is Hammer.

Not everything is Hammer. Working on it though. mtmuley

Barnes TTSX all the way, once you go all copper, you'll never go back. Velocity for expansion shouldn't be an issue unless you are planning on shots beyond 700 yds or so. Not many shooters out there can do that.

 

[Doublegunner]

I use ttsx but have used partitions. Both are good and will get the job done. I think eventually we will all be required to go unleaded.

 

[OntarioHunter]

Whatever you can get your hands on. Make it work.

 

[blackbeard]

Partition, I've had great results with them.

The elk and deer don’t care either way, put either one in the lungs and they will die just the same. Neither is a “long range” bullet but both will kill at normal hunting range just the same. Pick the most accurate one in your rifle and go hunting.
