Just loaded a batch of 53gr with various powder weights for my mates 222. Subject to him finding the most accurate load i.e 23.5gr to 25gr 748 we want him to test them out initially on some fallow.Is there any measureable difference hunting wise to these 2 Barnes projectiles given only 2 gr difference?
Its just the polymer tip thats different isn't it? The 55 will have a slight Bc advantage, terminal ballistics will be very similar.
Sorry, we are talking about ttsx and txs pills here? Just checking because Barnes also make varmint grenades which are definately not suitable for fallow.
No just TSX. Planning to write to Barnes again for info.
Just had a closer look, only difference is the 53gr is a boat tail, makes seating easier and aids bc, the 55gr is a flat base so slightly trickier to seat and the extra 2gr makes up the bc. Ballistically they will be so close it is really just academic, terminal performance will be so close you won't notice it.Quote:

If you go to the 55gr TTSX bt there will be a slight bc advantage, this is the pill I would use!
They recommend a 1:9 twist or faster for the 55gr TTSX btw!
They did not give much info apart from referring to their reloading page. Awaiting my mate's results. He has been catching 18/19lb snapper on 4lb line today[1/2 hr to get to boat]Quote:
