Default Barnes TTSX are amazing





Dropped my bull moose today 295 yards. First shot was a quartering away shot, took his lungs out and exited in front of opposite shoulder and gonzo.

He bucked and ran 10 yards, ran out of gas. Stood there so i decided to chamber another round. This time a little quartering to me. Fell like he had no legs as the shot. Bullet blew apart the bones where the scapula joins, and stopped in the hide opposite side. The petals sheared off but im thinking they did early as seemed 5 wound channels from that shot. One petal exited as there was now 2 holes on that side. Found a third petal on hide as well. But after this picture. They sure hit hard, and mean business. Im a believer. Dont think that second shot would have resulted the same if i had a ELDX in the chamber.

Solid believer in the Barnes after today. Ill jump on that wagon. Only needed the one shot, but there was some bad stuff not 30 yards away , and i would have rather not deal with that lol
