I would like to try the 416s on Buff this year in the TSX bullet.



Oh, Ray, now THERE you go again!

I bought Mike Brady out of everything he had in stock (well, nearly everything, I'm pretty sure) because of your testimony on North Fork bullets. I've bought his .338s, .375s, .416s, and I'm talking a LOT of each!

Now here you go... going to test these TSX suckers on Cape buffalo. I just know you're going to come back and give rave reviews of the dad-gum things. So, when you do, please do me a favor and tell me to KEEP my North Forks because they're just as good!

Seriously, though... I'm sure kicking around buying some 225s in .338 for my RUM -- just to see "what if."

E-gad, this stuff is addicting!

Take care, Ray. Shoot 'em up!

Does anyone know what the bullets were used on and at what range?

How badly to the triple shocks foul the bore? Although they are a grooved design, they are poorly executed (compare with North Fork or GS).

I have had no particular problem with them as compared to the old style X bullets.

500Grains,

Pretty sweeping generalization you have there, especially if you have not tried them. Those of us who have know it to be untrue. Give them a try, I was like you about the originals but am a convert on the TSX.

very nice, how well did they penitrate? I am eager to try them in my 270 winchesters.

500grains, what in the wide world of sports makes the TSX poorly executed? Especially when you haven't taken the time to test them yourself.
