110gr Barnes TTSX in 308

Nice. I’m using A2230 at 47.6gr.

Did you end up taking any game with that load?

Not with this specific load. Didn’t get drawn.

Have taken game with the 110gr TTSX though. Works well.

Smoked this MONDO boar with the 110TTSX which is a flat base actually. It’s running 3062fps out of my 16.5” Ruger m77 Mk2 308 compact. Have it sighted in 2” high at 100 gives me a mpbr 0-280 yards. This boar was 262 yards broadside. Crazy thing is the shot placement was a little further back than I wanted but it knocked the boar on its ass. I thought it dropped DRT but got back up and ran 20 yards and died. Clipped back lung and blew up the liver. Absolutely mind blowing as the 110 isn’t talked about as much as the 130 is. This pig weighed 278 on the scale. A solid boar to test any bullet on. Extremely impressed. Unfortunately the bullet passed all the way through so I couldn’t look at the mushroom but whatever it did it’s job right. Entrance was the photo with the truck in the background. Exit was the other.

Reviving this older thread to get any other experiences folks have with the .308 ttsx 110gr, 130gr or the TAC-TX 120gr. I see barnes is now offering loaded .308win in 130gr at 3100fps and a “reduced recoil” load at 110gr at 2900 so curious on folks experiences especially with regard to the actual conservative velocity floor you’ve found with each bullet. Im thinking about these for a .308 win and looking at the tactx as well. Curious if anyone has tried those in a little faster cartridge such as a 308win and what you found.

I think that video I posted speaks volumes with how good a light bullet in 308 can be. Knocking down a 250+ pound pig on its ass from a liver/lung shot with zero spinal trauma is nothing to scoff at. I’ll test the 130 next but I think that’s the ideal weight to stay at. Keep in mind my velocity floors for the 110 and 130 were coming out of a 16” barrel.
