[QUOTE="luvcatchingbass, post: 193703, member: 1979"] I reload and have not tried factory Barnes ammo but would suggest it is worth a try. To say "whiteails don't need a premium bullet" I disagree with but in the end it is what shoots consistently and performs to your liking. I first went to Barnes 140 tsx and ttsx in my 7mm because I didn't like softball exit wounds, they are now quarter size and have dropped bucks near Thors hammer with lightest dressed 185lb heaviest 210lb. My 6.5 has 4 deer with 2 120gr ttsx, 1 140gr Barnes Matchbuner, 1 130gr accubond with my next experiment will be the new Hornady ELD-X. In the 6.5 I had best confident results in the ttsx, Match Burners worked but pencil entrance no exit on 2 shots, accubond worked fine but feel if it was a ttsx on that shot it would have reached the off shoulder and been a dead right there instead of running 40yds into the gully.
