Anybody use Barnes .308 110 Grain TTSX?

[Scout21]

Yes ....it has accounted for many deer some rather large bucks .... it is deadly.

Very interesting, Do you have complete pass throughs?

Do you happen to have the product number for the bullet that you use? Apparently there are at least three different 110 grain TTSX bullets out there that are each made for different velocities.

Complete pass through ....
I don't have the part number ... I am sure Barnes will be glad to provide that ... but the only one listed now is the 30362 ... I no longer have the boxes ...only the remaining loaded ammo and that is getting slim....

I do have the .257" 80 grain TTSX I use in the .25/06 it is #30218 and the .243" 80 grain TTSX is #30208

My cousin shoots the .300 WSM ... and She has killed several large bucks with it ....two that I helped her get out of the woods ... it is a Browning XBolt with a John Widden muzzle brake .... I shot it over the chronograph ... averaged 3802 fps with the load we used ... feels like shooting a .243 Winchester ...
She also hunts with a .264 Winchester Magnum ...

Here is a 185 lbs 8 point my grandson killed with the 80 grain TTSX with .243 Win @120yards ... took maybe three steps to the edge of the path ....

I finally got around to emailing Barnes and this was their response. I specifically asked about the blue tip .308 110 grain TTSX bullet.

Thank you for choosing to shoot Barnes Bullets. That bullet will expand down to 2000 fps. We don’t worry about the top end because even if the bullet were to hit the animal at a high rate of velocity and you lost a petal or 2, the major portion of the all copper bullet is going to still penetrate like no other cup and core/lead core bullet can.

I'll probably load up enough find a decent load and then a few more to hunt with. If the bullet works well I'll likely stick with it. According to Barnes I should be able to load it between 3050 and 3350 with H332.

If I don't like the performance I'll probably move up to the 130 grain TTSX.
