So it's been out for awhile, what are your experiences with this bullet? Work any better than the 300gr TSX?

I had No idea . This should be interesting .

My ? is Why ?
Does the 300 gr X of TSX lack penetration .
I think the 350 gr is a good weight in the 416 +458 .
Well I guess the 458 finally beats the 375 H&H in velocity.

Have no experience with them but have used 350gr Woodleighs and 300gr TSX. My concern with my 375H&H would be the length of the 350gr TSX. Since the Woody's are lead core, they are actually shorter than the 300gr Barnes but the 350gr Barnes MAY run into powder capacity or stability issues in the H&H sized case because of their length. I would think the 350 TSX would be more useful in a RUM or WBY sized case. For an H&H or Ruger I would stick with the 300gr Barnes

My question as well. But they've been out for awhile, I was wondering if anyone has tried them yet.

I guess that a 1-12" std 375 twistrate is marginal for a 350 TSX. Just a feeling though..
I think there is no need for a 350 grs TSX, the 300 grs will do everything an exp. 375 bullet is supposed to do..

Agreed, and the 350 gr TSX is too long for my liking as it will have to be seated too deep into the case. I view the 350 gr TSX as a solution to a non existent problem.

Have no idea but I do not find it interesting at all.

Now the new 375 250 TTSX That will rock!
So will the 416 cal 350 TTSX!

I am sorry to see the monobullet makers appeal to the uninformed public rather than to experienced shooters. You cant have it both ways, a monometal and a heavier than ordinary bullet weight. North Fork is also going down this road.

The 350 grain 375 probably has a SD about like a 500 grain .458 doesnt it?

The 500 grain Barnes turns over 180 degrees and breaks off its X petals even when fired in a 1-12 rather than 1-14 twist and at 2400 instead of 2100 fps. Still not enough RV to keep it point forward.

One advantage I guess if it is one is that when it does turn over it will have quite alot of frontal area until it goes base forward again.

If yo want the heavy weights, I would stick with a conventional lead core bullet, whether it is FMJ or SP.

When I shoot a monometal bullet, I usually go lighter, not heavier. For example, in my Rigby, I shoot the 350 grain TSX and in my .450 Dakota, I shoot the 450 grain TSX. That is the advantage of the monometals. You can drop down in bullet weight and have a flatter shooting cartridge but still get great penetration. They are so long, I can't imagine going up in weight. I agree with Andy, if you want a heavier bullet, stick with bullets of conventional construction.

I would rather have them make a 270 grain TTSX.
