So far I've shot 1 bobcat, 8 deer and 7 hogs (up to 210#) with Barnes 130gr TTSX at 2100fps MV from my 11" SBR, all have been clean kills with good penetration and expansion. As far as I'm concerned this is THE hunting bullet for the 300s. Barnes sent me some redesigned to expand down to 1500fps impact velocity for testing, but I can't see any real improvement since I usually shoot from 100yds or less and the regular ones expand just fine (.500") at 100yds when tested in dead hogs.

I just picked up some of the 130 gr TTS to load for my AR 300 would yo share your load data?
