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.

You jumped right over .358 in banded solids. I believe there is a market for a 250 gr. 35 caliber solid. I would also like to see a 200 gr. .358 TTSX if it is not too long for my 350 Rem mag? Thanks

Bullets I would like to see.
100 grain .243 TSX BT
140 grain .264 TSX BT
250 grain .358 TSX
600 grain .505 Gibbs TSX and Banded Solid
The Gibbs case is far to big to be shooting 525 gr bullets. You used to make a 600 gr Super Solid.

A .243 105 grain Plus hunting bullet. I dearly miss the 115 grain original in .243 cal. It was my favorite.

Your 120 TTSX bullets perform great in my 260 remington
I would like an MRX bullet in 6.5 mm for the 260 remington. I think a 140 grain MRX bullet would be ideal.

A lighter weight (200 gr or so) 9.3mm TSX would be nice for deer sized game. Even better would be a TTSX BT.
The current 250 gr TSX performs perfectly on moose
Keep up the great work!

I noticed that you finally are making the 323 cal ttsx. I sure would like to buy a box. The tsx bullet did a great job on my elk 2007 305 lazer range. The elk went 10 yards the piled up, chest area through and through. thx for superbe bullet.

Id be thrilled to see more .510 caliber options, for those of us .50 Alaskan/.50-110 fans, who already have very limited bullet availability as it is?

How about a .510 caliber TSX Flatnose, and Spitzer,
somewheres in the 300gr-450gr range?
