Love the TSX 90 grain .243 bullet, yet I hope you are working on a 100 grainer in .243 caliber. Since .243 Winchester is a mainstay caliber worldwide, I would appreciate Barnes reply to this request of, I’d guess, millions of customers. Whilst foot-pounds of energy, without a proper bullet, means nothing downrange, it means a lot regarding bullet performance. Cliff
We cannot make an all copper, expanding bullet in 243 caliber that heavy and make it stable in standard twist rifles. We used to make really have 243’s in the Barnes Original configuration due to the density of the lead core. I seriously doubt you’ll ever see a 100 grain 243 in the TSX, but possibly in the MRX??? We’ll have to see. -JSB
With so many long range shooters using David Tubb’s 115 DTAC in a 7.5 twist barrel it would seem a 100 grain TSX or MRX would be a very popular specialty hunting bullet for you to make?
Thank you for coming out with the new 160 gr. TTSX in 8mm. Will there be any chance that you might come out with a 180 gr as well? I love shooting the 200 gr. TSX Out of my 325 WSM. It really does the number on elk. But would like a little flater shooting bullet. Has anyone tryed the 160 gr ttsx out of a 325 WSM?
Very excited about the new TTSX. I had some mixed results with “hot” loads out past 450 yards with my .25-06 using the TSX and had to go to a tipped 117 grain bullet to bring my group back under an inch at 600 yards. The TSX was an excelent performer up to the 450 mark however. I think the new TTSX will take me where I want to go down the range once it is available for the 25 Cal crowed.
While I am hopping for a 117 grain .257″ TTSX I would like to add an 85 grain Varmint Grenade to my wish list. Between those two rounds I could easly keep my .25-06 employed year round!

Any chance of a 55gr .223 ttsx in the near future?
the tsx is great but the tip is greater!

Why do you not offer more 25-06 ammo, than you do?
