I’d like to see a 130 grain 30 30 bullet, I’ve had good luck with that in a Sierra but the soft lead gets deformed loading into tubular magazines. I load the lighter bullets for young hunters to reduce recoil. In the Maine woods 100 yds is a long shot and your bullets penetration would be a great application I believe.

I would love to see a 200gr tsx in 9.3. I have an old drilling in 9.3×72r and it is very hard to find quality bullets for it. I have resently returned from a hunt in Africa in which I used your bullets to take several plains game with one shot. I was very impressed with their performance. So please offer more bullet weights . Thank you Brent Maggard.

I know you used to make a 600 grain round nose original for the .460 Weatherby, how about bringing that back as a banded solid?

Perhaps you are already thinking about this and just didn’t get a chance to get to it. But, I would really like to see a lightweight Tipped TSX bullet in .358″ diameter. I use a Browning BLR in 358 Winchester. Currently I am using Barnes 200gr TSX flat nose bullets. I would really like to use a 160-175gr Tipped TSX bullet to increase the velocity and the range that a Tipped TSX that it would afford me. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity.

I have said it before and will keep on saying it. MORE BULLETS FOR LEVERGUNS. Specifically the 375 Win.

PLEASE!!!!!!

Something 200gr or up….. My 94BB is dying to hunt piggies in CA. Even if you could run a limited run for test.

6.5 shooters really miss the big game capabilities of the 140XLC. A 140MRX would be the perfect addition to the line. The 130TSX-FB does not fill the void, and its FB turns-off shooters looking for high BCs. I second the earlier suggestion for a 6.5 in the 100TSX range, for Grendels and small game. The 120TTSX is the gold standard for a medium game hunting bullet – Thank You!

Dear People at Barnes Bullets

Please bring out a range bullets for extreme long range hunting.
6.5 thru to 375 cal.
With the highest possible BC, a medium to heavy bullet weight per caliber.
Example say 230 gn 30 cal, or a 275 gn 338 cal.
Designed for standard twist rates per caliber.
DON’T design the ogive around magazine lengths!!!
Make the ogive as long as possible.
Do something different, put a ten thou rebate at the start of the boat tail for the gas seal, then taper a very long boat tail to a rounded point.
Get rid of the BC sucking drive bands.
Put a plastic tip on them, make the hollow cavity much deeper and wider than your standard bullet.
Design them to suit the single shot rifles for “1000″
yard and beyond hunting.
As your aware by now, long range hunting isn’t going away.
Barnes bullets have established a deadly rep as a close to medium range hunting bullet.
Now take on the long range market, and do it with style.
Yours sincerely
Craig Boswell.

TTSXs in a light and middle weight for the 375s- how about a 210 TTSX FB and 250 with a TTSX BT? A 210~215 TSX for the 9.3s would be great.

For the 45-70 lever guns:
A 200 to 250 grain solid bullet, semi pointed/flat nosed with deep concave base and a canelure. Something like a miniball in design. The skirt might expand when fired. Max velocity out of a lever gun would be 2,250 to 2300 fps. If the canelure was a shallow channel it would also serve to limit metal fouling. Increased velocity and case capacity coupled with deep bone crunching penetration and less felt recoil are the pluses in my opinion.
