mhoYou'll find a bunch of TSX posts in here, a lot of people have used them. I have personally loaded them in .257 Wby, .270 Win and .300 Win Mag, and have had good hunting accuracy out of all of them (sub MOA). .30-06 with 168 grs is next TSX project.

Terry BlauwkampI have been using them for a couple of years now. Used 160 gr TSX on Deer, also 140 gr 270 Win TSX and 180 gr TSX, and 338 210 gr TSX on African Plains game.
Performace of all bullets was outstanding.

stubblejumperBoth of my 300ulotramags average 5/8" three shot groups at 100 yards with the 180gr tsx.Fouling is almost non existant,and I am getting slightly more velocity with a smaller powder charge compared to other bullets.

BigBrassI have loaded TSX's for two rifles - a .270 Win and a .300 Win Mag. In both cases, they have turned out to be the most accurate bullets of any I have tried.

CossackYes, 140gr in 7/08, Varget to get 2900 fps. Awsome accuracy and terminal performance (TP). Been using barnes for years. Always had great TP but accuracy was often only so so, and fauling a problem. The TSX solved the accuracy and fauling with the same great TP>

nyriflemanUsing them in 2 rifles.
1. Rifles, Inc. M-70 7MM Rem Mag, 3025 fps average
2. Dale Goens custom Pre-64 M-70 .300 WM, 3150 fps avg
Both rifles shoot .5 MOA

DesertRamExcellent results (accuracy and terminal performance) in .257 AI, .270 WSM, and .338 Win Mag. Will be using them in my 6.5x55 as soon as it's repaired. It did real well with XLCs, so I presume it'll like TSXs as well (everything has so far).

woodsThe TSX's shoot superbly in 16 of the 17 guns I reload for. In the other one they shoot better than any other bullet, just not very good. I figure it's the gun's fault there.
I like penetration and a blood trail to follow rather than explosive type bullets, so the TSX's work for me there also.

oulufinn25-284 with 100 grain TSX did a fine job on 4 Texas hogs last winter. Just under 1" accuracy with the first load I used. When I bed the rifle and tweak the load some it may get a bit better. The performance of the bullets was very good & produced from 1" to 1.5" exits. Try the "unleaded" for yourself, I think you'll like the results. Bruce
