Have to say that I'm on the barnes tsx and ttsx band wagon. I too had major problems with the origional barnes bullet, but they have made many changes that have solved fouling and accuracy issues. My only issue with the tsx bullets is that according to my programs they don't have the coefficient that barnes claims. With other bullets, I can plug numbers into the formula and drop charts are very close. The barnes consistantly shoot lower than expected. Easy fix for this is to simply shoot the bullets at the ranges you are interested in and make your own drop charts, that's what I've done and many dead animals can't tell you how well they perform. The last was the coyote that I posted last month that recieved a tsx at just over 500yds. The combination of accuracy and terminal performance makes this bullet great for anyone who wants a boom-flop ending to all their big game hunting stories.-------shooter
