Big fan of Barnes, specifically the TTSX
You mind telling what grain bullet and what type(TSX, TTSX, other)?I was unimpressed with lead free Barnes in 300 Win mag. I used it in California on a blacktail hunt to be in compliance with state laws. The round/rifle was plenty accurate, but the effects on the deer and how far it ran considering perfect shot placement was concerning. This is only a sample of 1 instance of using these lead-free rounds on game, so not a whole lot of data to work with- but I know the locals out there on that ranch with more experience didn't have a whole lot of good to say about the mandatory use of lead-free in that state.
I wish I could. Wasn't my rifle or ammo- it was all loaner stuff. Between the PITA of transporting guns/ammo into the PRC, and the fact that none of our guns were zero'd for the lead free ammo which none of us had in the first place and probably wouldn't even be able to find, we just borrowed guns and ammo from the locals.You mind telling what grain bullet and what type(TSX, TTSX, other)?
My home state of California has required them for years. I would never have tried them otherwise.
Reason I asked was ... there are multiple grains weight bullets(copper) and styles in the same caliber...I wish I could. Wasn't my rifle or ammo- it was all loaner stuff.
