[QUOTE="Lycanthrope, post: 40197, member: 562"] Problem with barnes is, the lower the velocity, the less expansion you will get from them. Copper is hard and really needs some good energy to open it up. Ive seen some tests that show that the TTSX actually doesnt expand as well as the TSX, but it will give you a slightly better BC. I havent run velocity/drop charts recently, but you wanna keep it above 2k fps and even that can be marginal at times. Ive shot deer with my 223 using 53gr TSX and it did just fine. I tried some heavier bullets I was gifted by bobcat, I think they were 70s and they stabilized, but didnt group for crap for me. [/QUOTE]
