I finally broke down and purchased some 300 gr TSX barnes bullets to try out of my Ruger #1 chambered in 405 winchester. Getting good groups out of cast but wanted something better for 200 yards. I am amazed at the Barnes TSX. Groups were three shots only. I settled on 55.0 grains R15. 100 yard group measured .687" outside to outside. At 200 the three shot group measured 1.790" outside to outside. ready for deer and elk this year. Dreaming of Namibia next year. Would like to hear from somebody if they have used this combination in Africa and how it performed. It will be my first trip, plains game only.

the bullet also performs well from my Miroku Winchester 405 running Varget

also in my Miroku 1895 .405 using VV N133 at 2250 fps.

Conclusion, it is a good and accurate bullet for the .405.

I plan on trying that bullet in my 400 Whelen, I hear some guys are running it in the 400 H&H's too.

What is the diameter of that Barnes? The groove diameter of the 400 H&H is .411"...

.411 for the Barnes 300 TSX.
