| Excellently. I took two bucks weekend before last with a 7x57 that is just creeping along with the 140 TSX. Hit both at about 2200fps and both mushroomed/X'ed perfectly. Barnes engineer, Ty Hearing, told me over the phone the TSX will expand reliably down to 1700 fps.

| Please explain why you would want to download a 300 wm to 2200? Just curious?

| I would guess he is more intersted in shooting something "way-out" there where velocity is down to 2000.

| Velocity at 500 yards is close to 2200 fps with the most accurate load in my rifle. |

| Barnes claims useable expansion is down around 1800 fps... I'm of the opinion 2000 fps is the more uesful/realistic bottom end. Regardless, the 165/68's are plenty in a 300. Truth is, past 500 yards the 180's will retain more velocity. I'd use whichever shot best between 165's/180's... |
