Which of these bullets have you experienced better accuracy with?

I haven't tried the Northforks but the TSXs are scary accurate in my 375 and 7 mags.

These are, along with the Swift A-Frames, my favorite hunting bullets. Depending on the particular gun and caliber I rate them about equal in the accuracy department.

The TSX's work so well for me that I don't want to try anything else.

Don't know why but I get average accuracy from the tsx's. I have tried the northforks in a couple guns and got what I would consider better accuracy than the tsx's. And....actually as mentioned above by another poster....I've had really good luck with swift a-frames. I should restock on the swifts but don't have any game on the near future schedule that really requires that good of a bullet.

Rhys ----- I have shot North Forks for some time since I discovered them a few year ago. Their accuracy for their toughness when considering all calibers I shoot has no matchs in the bullet world at this time for me. I have shot TSX's from .277 caliber up to their larger bullets. I get some very good groups with them. The Nosler Partition and Swift A-Frames for a particular rifle still gets them even though the North Forks match their accuracy, I guess I am being frugal, having several of them on hand before I discovered the North Forks. My thing is extreme accuracy with my hunting loads, and I shoot three days a week year around to determine those. Far at the top of the line is the North Forks, second would be the TSX's, next the Nosler Partition and then the Swift A-Frame. My old .300 Winny that my son now shoots will drill the 180 grain Nosler Partition with precision, the North Forks match them bullet for bullet, yet the Noslers seem to have grandfathered that rifle and he will not shoot anything else. Bottom line, the North Forks are at the top of my heap, having used them from Alaska to Canada to Africa, with several good bullets also can show their stuff on occasions. Good shooting.

I like the accuracy of the TSX but love the NF. Last week I was shooting a 9.3mm wildcat with 250 grain NF at 3000fps at 200 yards, the first 17 went into aprox. 2.5" as I was moving the scope around. The last 3 shots were within .600" @ 200 yds! Yes I like the North Fork, the owner is nice to work with also.

I jusr recently bought some 200gr TSX for the .338-06. In the past I have been dissapointed w/ the original Barnes "x', accuray has alwyas been so-so in every rifle I tried. I will be testing them side by side w/ some 200grNFs v 210grNPs.

I found the tsx to be plenty accurate.

I have only used 200's in a 300 win and 300 rum.

I think all of the Barnes bullets have variable performance on game depending upon where you hit it. If you hit solid bone they expand properly, if not it may act like a solid which is not the best.

All of the bullet will kill but they kill in different ways so the choice is sort of like ice cream flavors. Which ever one of the sytles you like is the one to shoot. None are better than others, they just have different characteristics.

From another Wyoming shooter & hunter...I can find no better bullet than the Northforks...time & time again, I tried bullets (with same weight & load), then loaded the Northforks. The Northforks were always more accurate than the other bullets. Work fine on game too, no problems. Good holding together. When I sight in, I use a cheaper bullet, after I develop my load, I substitute Northforks to get my final group. Then use Northforks for my hunts. can't beat them in my opinion! Numero Uno.

I haven't had much luck with either bullet. My new 270 Winchester however loves the Barnes 130 XLC. All that proves is lore of different bullest for different rifles holds true.
