Thread: Barnes TSX

My mate only uses 55gr TSX. Is anyone importing them into NZ? Mr Hannon says he has none.

gunworks is rapidly running out of just about everything...they have none...or the ttsx or the 50grn version..best I not be wasting what dwindling supply I have left.

I Googled the NZ importer and emailed but like most things in NZ got no reply. Whats new. Pity AliExpress dont make them.

Outdoor Brands Auckland is on Barnes website as NZ agent.

This is for my old pig hunting mate whom we now chase reds. He shoots with an X Bolt. The TTSX does not group in his rifle at longer distances. The TSX kills everything from zero to the horizon. He ripped my ears off after I had loaded up the TTSX and they did not perform. He kills for meat not bone. Very demanding about his ammo. His motto is the F TSX works why the F do I need to experiment. Cant argue. He nailed a nice 9pt big fat red a few months back. Guess what he said as I gutted it.

Why are you gutting my deer?

TRY taking the tip off a ttsx with ciggy lighter flame....they MAY just preform properly for him if you do as will be fly shit shorter...dont ask me how it works cause Im begiggered if can figgure it out...

As a sideline I saw on the Projectile Warehouse in Australia they post the long range pill for the 243 in Barnes but it is never seen here. Consumer preference?

@TeRei is that the LRX ?

Yes.

I see hannon has got some 45grn ones on trademe..... they should be just as good if not better IF your mate isnt a barrel stretcher.... heck buy them anyway,if he doesnt like terminal preformance ,sell the part box...by then the price will be what you paid for them new.

@TeRei I'm sure your mate won't want to switch as MD has suggested above but I have some you can have if you want to try them
