yep, shoot great in my 300WSM. I talked with the rep and while he didn't say the old TSX had expansion reliability problems he did say "the TTSX will expand faster" because the hollow tip behind the plastic is a lot bigger than the old style.

...what a surprise.

But has anybody ever experienced a TSX not expand rapidly enough?

I'm going to try the Nosler e-tip before I try the Barnes TTSX. The Noslers are about $5 less per box of 50.

Let us know how they work out. Nosler advertises that E-tips are gilding metal not pure copper so they should foul a little less. Of course with 5 to 10% tin in the mix they will also be a little longer.

I've got some TTSX in .257 and .277 to try to get some loads worked up. They should fly well in my .257 and .270 Wthbys.

Do you know why hoser says the truth doesn't matter?
Because he does not know how to tell the truth
