Entrance
Exit
Also, here's a Blackbuck Antelope that I shot in Texas with a 168 gr TSX bullet from my .300 Weatherby. He was quartering to me, and the bullet entered the front of his right shoulder, and the exit can be seen just in front of his left hip.

I shoot the 150gr TSX in the 280AI which is ballistically on par to the RSAUM. With Barnes bullets being 100% copper they are longer than the same weight jacketed bullet. They will retain almost 100% of their weight and will penetrate deeper than most traditional bullet designs.

The old sectional density minimum of .160 for Elk went out the window with the Barnes X bullet. Randy Brooks claims excellent results from his 340 weatherby with 185 gr. Bullets.
I shot an antelope further away than I want to talk about with a 140 gr. X bullet in 1989 from a 7 mm rem mag. complete pass through and perfect entry and exit wounds.
I am currently shooting accubonds (I got a great deal on a good quantity,great bullets)but when they run out I am going to try the TSX and ttsx in both my 340 and my 300 wsm.
when Barnes first came out the had a reputation for copper fouling but that was pretty much solved with the TSX by reducing the bearing surface. I am sure some people will have issues with them like everything else.

Welcome some feedback on Barnes Triple Shocks.
Currently I'm using Nosler Partitions in 7mm SAUM
140 Gr. For use on Mid-large size game. (Red Stag, Tahr, Chamois, Rams, Goats, Bear, Ibexetc.)
Toying with the idea of going to Barnes Triple shock in 160 gr, to give a little more punch on the bigger animals e.g. Elk.
Interested in your experience with these projectiles.
A lot of my shooting is at Mid-long range (e.g. 250-350 yards.)
