.264 Barnes TTSX at 2700 fps. ((MV)

Please don't tell me it needs to go faster...I know, but it's an accurate load.


Any real life experience with it on game?

Would this be the 120 gr?

Run the 130 gr. TSX at ~ 2800, and, so far, out to ~ 250 has worked fine.

The 120 gr. TTSX, w/ the same BC at 100 fps slower, should be fine as well.

No experience with that exact bullet, but the 7mm 120gr version at 2800 or so was a fine and dandy killer on deer and hogs inside 200yds (semi-youth load). Plenty of expansion and damage. Can't see 100fps making much difference, plus the 6.5mm version bleeds velocity slower with its better shape.

My dad has killed a handful of decent sized deer with that bullet from his 6.5 Creedmoor - probably right around that speed too. Made each deer quite sick.
