I got the response I wanted and assumed I would get. Thanks guys!!

Received a box of 270 Barnes TTSX 130 gr bullets. I decided to use a tried and trued powder charge of IMR 4451 that has shot really well with multiple 130 bullets out of the 270. My 4 shot group is .510 inches. My velocity is right at 3000 fps at the muzzle. First attempt with this bullet and...

I shoot a CVA Optima and have shot it for about 15 years. I have killed several deer with it. Shoots very accurately. My son just popped a doe at 125 yards at the the end of KY black powder season. For bullets I use Barnes 250 gr bullets.

First attempt was not too impressive. A 4 shot group at 1.518 inches. I used the same seating depth that produced cloverleaf groups with a different powder. I will probably still try to play with it since I have so much 4064 but I am not too hopeful on finding "a keeper" .

Thanks a lot for the quickload and the info on Jack O'Conner. I just loaded up some 130 gr BTips to try out. I will let you all know how they shoot.

Thanks Dan! My plan was to use either the 130 BTip or hornady interlock. Looking at the speeds I would be down at least 100 fps from what I usually shoot but I figure it is worth a shot to see how it groups.

Has anyone tried this combo? I had never considered pairing the two together but I was doing some reading and looking online and it struck me that I have a full pound of it and I have never tried the two together. I have found some data but I wanted to ask for some real world experience from the...

Thanks for the input. I loaded up some today to try with some Hybrid 100V.

Can't wait to hear how they shoot!!

I have bought some 85 gr Barnes TSX to try in my son's 243. My thoughts are that the 85 gr TSX will perform as well as a 95 gr factory (lead cup and core load) and they were currently available. Any experience by anyone loading or hunting whitetail with these bullets? I would appreciate any help.

Enjoyed the recap! Very nice job this season!!

Looks like pretty good performance!

Thank you gentlemen.

Nice buck and obviously nice shot, congrats!!!

Very nice deer and good woodsman skills!!

Went out for the first time all season by myself this morning. I was covered up in deer all morning. Ended up seeing 9 does and one little buck. Was luck enough to drop 2 does. First doe came over the knob at 7:45 and walked directly to my stand. She stood still at 30 yards with her head up and...

Congrats, nice work on a nice buck!!

Thanks to all! Glad to be able to share it with a great group of hunters and shooters!

We lost some of the meat in the bullet bath through the buck. Not much loss though. I was able to trim around it.

Recovered this bullet from my son's buck. Shot was 90 yards and the bullet hit back. Took out liver and was recovered in front of back ham. Bullet was a 95 gr Winchester Deer Season XP shot out of a Remington Compact 243. Recovered weight was 56.9 gr for 59.8% weight retention. Internal damage...
