Would like to get feedback on those who have shot 150 TTSX, accuracy, results and speeds? I am loading for the 7 REM, 7STW and hopefully a 7 WBY. Thanks in advance!

i have shot the 150ttsx out to 700 yards with 7 mag. it shot around 5 1/2 inches I thought it was pretty good. I have not tried in my STW or my weatherby. I have shot many african and north american animals with other calibers and while I have read of some not opening I personally have never had anything but dead animals. Honestly I think they are super accurate. I am not a long range hunter just playing but inside 500 yards they are deadly

A good bullet for just about anything you might encounter.

My wife uses them in her 7mm RM, one shot one kill.
For practice I substitute Hornady 154 gr. SST they shoot to the same point and less than half the price of the TTSX's.

Thanks for the replies. I'm a Nosler person but a little fed up with the Accubonds being out of stock for the last few years.

I ran some 150 Nosler E-Tips out of a 7mm SAUM last year at 2900fps. 150 TTSX's gave slightly better velocity but the E-Tips were a bit more accurate.

Anyway, pretty substantial results on the two Sitka that I put down with them. Good stuff.


Regards,

Robert

Normally I like the ballistics of the 160gr bullets out of my various 7mm rifles, but being copper, I imagine the 150 TTSX flies just about as well.

Not sure where your buy the 160 Accubonds but you may want to try Powder Valley they have them in stock. I'm shooting the 160gr AB in custom 280AI and 284. With those two rifles I get around 500.

I think the Barnes 150 grain ttsx is the best game bullet out there for anything larger or tougher than a small deer. I like the Nosler Ballistic tip still for deer, they shoot very well in my 7mm Rem mag and drop deer DRT. But they are not in the same league for bone crunching stopping power or ability to travel through a large animal as the ttsx. They also shoot very well in the 7mm. I used them for a pig hunt last year and the ttsx broke the spine of a large wounded boar at 520 yards.
