Barnes tsx 130 success stories

[Deano0686]

Let’s see some mule deer that fell to the Barnes tsx 130! I’m gonna run the stock federal premiums this year out of my 6.5 creed and I’d love to see some success pics with it!

Mule deer, the first one would’ve done it, but he was standing still so I shot him again, blew up the lungs and had exit holes about the size of quarters on the opposite side. Shot him from 200ish yards

LOVE this 270 bullet for Deer and Elk. One shot, one kill for 7 years in a row!

I shoot that bullet out of my .270. It has never failed me for deer, elk or bear when I do my part.

For a 270 do you like a heavier round? Or have tried a heavier round?

Not in a mono bullet
The 150gr Norma oryx is pure death on elk , deer , African plains game, caribou
It’s bonded, not cup and core

Experience with 270 on elk? Heavier round better? Lighter? Looking for any advice for my 270 win

I’ve used the 150 grain Nosler Partition with great success on elk, the bullet expands and penetrates exceptionally well!

But the BC on partitions are terrible so difficult to get accurate at distance ya?

I’ll have to take a look at those not heard of them, I just want something that shoots flat and hammers elk & deer

I’ve shot 130 grain ttsx out of a 270 for several years, always performed well on whitetails. A couple of years ago I put together a 308 with the intention of 150 or 168’s but it didn’t like either one, it loves the 130’s. It’s definitely not a long range bullet but those things are absolute hammers inside of 300.

I've used 130 grain out of a 270 win on both deer and elk with success- the Barnes included among them (Superperformance + Bergers of the same size as well).

If you haven't yet, I'd encourage you to listen to this and give some thought to it.

It's not to say you have to go down the path of buying the smallest caliber possible. But, it may challenge the idea of a hunter needing a "heavy hitter" to ethically take an animal. All three parts are excellent.

I got Berger 168 for my 7mm and I’m excited about them
Just curious if a heavier round is better for elk for someone who isn’t a professional rifle shooter
I can hit what I’m aimed at but i by no means shoot rifles regularly I’m an archer and excellent behind a bow but I need to train a little more to become a proficient rifle shooter

It appears this bullet is extremely popular for the 270 maybe I need to reconsider what I choose for my new 270

This one was a 6.5 TTSX, can’t remember if it was 130gr or not though. Was bedded above me with does nearby, wouldn’t get up for anything. Only shot was throat patch. Cartwheeled down the hill a short ways.
