It doesn't sound like you have much room for improvement to me :wink:

I've been getting similar accuracy results with 130 TSXs in my 270 WSM. Are you shooting the new TSXs or the "original" Barnes? The accuracy consistency seems to be a lot better with the new TSX line.... a lot of guys couldn't get the original Barnes to shoot out of their rifles, but can with the TSX.

I am one of those people.The original x bullet shot poorly in my rifles but the tsx has proven to be very accurate with no fouling problems like the original x bullet.
 
the bullets I am reloading with are 7 mm .284 dia 160 gr X . I have not seen the tsx as of late . but I will keep my eye out fot them . has anyone done exspansion tests on the Barnes x bullet . I was thinking about using this load for elk . any help would be great . thanks in advance Joe :lol: :?: :idea:
 
I have also jsut had good results with TSX's in my 260 and my son's 270. In the past Xbullets are hard to get to shoot. I wouldn't change a thing with yours.
 
There have been reports of inconsistant expansion with the original x bullet.Apparently some bullets failed to expand properly.The tsx has had the hollow point redesigned and apparently expand very reliably.
 
I really like the Triple Shock X in my 260, and I like the XLC in my 25-284.

I shot many critters with the 160 & 175 gr. regular X in my 7mm Mag I hunted with. Great bullet. I used IMR 4831 with the 160's.
 
I have a box of 130 grain X bullets (older type) for my 270 Winchester. I was planning to use standard loading data for 130 gr. bullets but I now realize I cannot do that because these bullets are just too different. I can't seem to find loading data at all for this bullet in my calibre. Do I have to buy the Barnes manual or can somebody help me out with a few loads? The powders I have are IMR 3031 (sort of fast and not too good for this use I suspect) and Win 760. I will buy a different powder if I can find some loads for it.

Another convert to the X bullet. :D :D 8) DAN>>>
 
the new triple shock 160gr shot really consistent in my 7-08, had to adjust my scope as they flew and 1.5 " higher and had to bring it down, as for expansion i just returned from the kwatna region from my brothers grizzly hunt, they punch out his lunds from 150yrds and did not exit.
