Barnes TTSX 80 grain and the .25/06

[JimKirk]

Loaded a few Barnes TTSX 80 grain in the .25/06 this morning ... Anybody else reloading these for deer?



I loaded some 80 grain TTSX in the .243 Winchester last year ....but never connected with anything ....they did shoot really well... 8 shots into 1/2" dot . ... The one loner is a .25/06 110 grain Accubond.

I don’t load Barnes bullets in anything but 450 Bushmaster bit as a fan of the 25-06, that looks like a winner to me.

Should be nasty on deer. What speed they going?

I run in my Remington mohawk 243 cal.
Barnes TSX85 gr.over IMR 4064 36.9 grains of powder.
Deer don't walk drop in there tracks.

Those look really interesting. Don't own a 25-06 at this point but hear good things about them. I have the 30-06 and 270 already so have been thinking back and forth between 25-06 and 6.5 Creedmore for my next project. I had a 257 BOB for a while but the throat was eroded when I got it then my cousin wanted it. It was a hand down from my grandfather so I gave it and dies to him.

The 110 grain TTSX would work very well in the .270 Winchester

As age creeps up on me 73 recoil is not in my vocabulary.
243 cal. Great deer cartridge I was lucky to recover a Barnes bullet full mudroom and did weight 85 grains

Not for 25-06, but I load the same weight and style bullet in my 243. Badassery on caribou.

I started loading the 80 grain TTSX last year in my .243 Win ..... I did not connect with any deer ....but it shoots less than 3/4" at 100 yards ...



8 shots in the dot(1/2" dot ) .... the right hole is a .25/06 110 grain Accubond...

I have been using 130 grain Grand slams in my Savage with great results. I have about 4 boxes left. I will probably try some of those 110 grain TTSX next.
