5.56 70 grain Barnes TSX experience?

[chrisk]

I have two boxes that are going to just sit.
my best group was with my 20” pencil barrel that just has irons, second was my shorty with a then the largest was my scoped carbine.
The pencil and shorty is 1:7 and the scoped rifle was 1:8 which is probably my most accurate one with a great variety of loads tried.
I doubt I would buy anymore of these ones and mostly stick with the 77 grain Sierra’s or 75 grain bthp and my 55 grain Vmax.

Mono bullets create a deep NARROW wound channel. Shoot the 77gr tmk loaded by AAC from palmetto and it’ll wreck anything around here

ditto, TTSX/TSX works much better with much higher 22-250/220 and 22CM speeds.

77gr TMK is the ticket on hogs and deer.

stand one is who i get mine from

I had to try them to see how they shot. Good thing I only bought 3 boxes.

I don't think the TSX is great 5.56 bullet. It needs some more speed, and it's a little small for an all copper projectile. The 77GR TMK is a beast of a bullet and i wouldn't hesitate to shoot almost any north american animal, there's a big thread on the rokslide talking about it.

the TMK is listed as a target bullet, so that would mean the jacket would come apart turning everything to gel on the inside? what about fragments in the meat?

I ham found that federal fusion out of the.223 works really good on critters.
