I happened to see a YouTube video on the Barnes TTSX bullets, and the man pointed out that on his Barnes TTSX 225 grain .338 bullets, about 2 or 3 of every ten bullets had the plastic point a little crooked. It was really noticeable when he rolled it down a piece of glass, you could see the tip wobble. He returned the crooked ones to Barnes, who replaced them with new bullets, but about one third of those had the crooked tips also. He didn't say if he noticed any problems when he shot them.
I checked mine (same exact bullet), and sure enough out of 50 bullets, 12 had the tips crooked. Do you think this matters in the accuracy? I am thinking to keep those wobblers for range practice, and the good ones for hunting.
I sent an e-mail to Barnes, but haven't gotten a response.
I was wondering also if anyone else has noticed if their Barnes TTSX have crooked tips.
