Thread: Barnes TTSX 80gr 243

I was going to use the 80gr Speer in my 6x45, because the were as accurate as hell. Decided against it, because they aren’t made anymore, and I didn’t want the hassle/disappointment of running out and having to do load development all over again.

For the .243 I’d be more than happy with the 90gr ballistic tip. Their smaller brothers (70gr) have killed me a fair amount of game at 3000fps. The 90’s at 3100 would be shit hot. Strong enough up close, good enough bc to hold some speed, and yet soft enough to open at 300.

There’s also the 85gr partition. Not cheap (neither are Barnes) but very versatile. Also the Hammer bullets could be worth a look. Available, and by all accounts very fast. @Tahr can probably tell you more about them.
