300gr Barnes tsx 45-70

[30 whisper]

I shot these out of my 45-70 1885 Miruko Winchester high wall. They were traveling @ 2350 fps 4-1 gallon water jugs 5-2X6s so 10" of wood and a 1 gallon water jug filed with sand @20 yards this load was min powder charge 49grs IMR 4198.

That'll work about anywhere. Perfect mushroom.

Looks like some excellent penetration, that spitzer design should work nicely from your 1885.

I run the 400 gr. Barnes buster in my guide gun up in Alaska. It's a hammer on porcupines. Never had to shoot a bear with it yet.
I'll try to collect one from a jug test this summer. It would be interesting to compare with the 300 gr.

The picture does not show but the pedals tore off the one side. Then again how many animals are made of wood and sand. I just use that media so I could capture the bullet. I was getting tired for lining up 15 water jug to get one bullet that's a lot of milk to drink.

That bullet looks really cool and it is trucking as well!
