    Ballistic Silvertip. It's just a Nosler Ballistic Tip with a moly coating.

    Best 30 caliber bullet for a grizzly?

    I couldn't stand the results I got from Silvertips on Deer, forget about any bear. I would be loading a Barnes

    Use Enough Gun

    So I guess the bull moose my girlfriend killed with the 25-06 and a 115TSX should never have happened? One shot, that little bullet went completely thru both shoulders and exited. Went 25yds and fell over.

    25-06 owners

    I shoot the 115TSX out of my Ruger American Predator. Shoots into 5/8" at 3050fps. Have taken several deer and a bull moose with it so far.

    30-06 180 grain copper bullet performance

    The 175LRX would be a great choice.

    7mm-08 ttsx 150gr

    I've been shooting Barnes for several years. I would go with the 139LRX as an all around bullet for everything in your list.

    Short to moderate range multi purpose cartridge for 7mmRM

    You have Barnes confused with Berger. Barnes hunting bullets are mono copper that expand fairly quickly, but retain nearly 100% of their weight. They penetrate very deeply, and usually exit. I've had multiple failures with rapid expanders and standard c&c bullets. All I shoot is Barnes in my...

    Copper bullet performance

    All I shoot is Barnes. My experience is lighter and faster works better with mono bullets. I would try the 175LRX first

    Copper bullet performance

    They don't expand "Reliably" at any range. They are a long range bullet that the fanbois have adopted as their pet bullet. Eldx are completely unreliable inside 250yds, they disintegrate to the point of complete failure.

    Copper bullet performance

    LRX or Hammer The 127LRX would be a great bullet to try from a PRC. What bullet weight/ velocity were you shooting with the TTSX

    7mm Rem Mag Bullet Recommendation for Weatherby Vanguard 26" 1-9 1/2 twist

    Another vote for the 145LRX.

    Copper bullet performance

    Having shot and experimented with Barnes for a couple years now, the winning formula seems to be lighter bullets at faster velocity. You have to put aside the old school ideas in bullet weight. Try a 165 or even a 150 next year. They can't disintegrate, so there is no problem in driving them fast.

    .243 85gr TSX & .223 55-62gr TSX

    I load the 80gr TTSX for my friends 243 and the 62gr TTSX for my 223 and 22-250. They all kill deer very well.

    Short to moderate range multi purpose cartridge for 7mmRM

    Agree with those recommending the Barnes. I shoot the145LRX.

    300 PRC with Mono Copper?

    My experience with Barnes bullets is similar. Lighter bullets going faster works best. With the velocity of the PRC, I would start with the 175LRX. That would still get a MV over 3000fps.

    Remington 700 in 6.5 Creedmoor for Whitetail?

    I have both the 25-06 and a 6.5CM. With Barnes 100TTSXs the 25-06 shoots noticeably flatter to 400 than the CM with 127LRXs. No difference in felt recoil been the two. The Tikka is a much better rifle than a Remington.
