Has anyone had success loading the above bullets to ~2500-2650fps and gotten good terminal performance on hogs and deer?

George

I have. I had a very accurate load that I shot for years before the 70gr TSX came out. I killed hundred of hogs from helicopters and several deer (from the ground). Load was 2,660 fps. Lots of heart lung shots

H4895 was the powder. tights groups

I'm looking at this bullet also for my new Colt M4. I plan on using for Coyote and sometime in the near future Wolf. I was wandering what the difference is between this bullet and the Triple-Shock X 62 Grain Hollow Point Boat Tail.

Thanks, Perry.

Jim,

The Tac-X is a bit shorter than the TTSX.

I use/have used both and the performance is identical. Accuracy is the same too. They both open up fast and penetrate deep. In the 5.56 I really like it for everything from coyotes to deer and hogs. First coyote I shot with it I was surprised it worked as well as it did. I was expecting, from such a tough bullet, pretty poor performance on smaller game. Because it opens so fast and expands so much it really slam dunks smaller game.

Thanks again Perry. I want to load it to about 2600fps so I can use it with one of my suppressors 9which is only 'rated' to 2650fps).

George, I was referring to the TSX and not the TTSX. I just found this tidbit on another forum. "Barnes rep said they are the same bullet. Only "difference" is that the M/LE TAC-X goes through one more inspection than the TSX does".

Thanks, Jim.
