Barnes 22 caliber 45 tsx

[long40shot]

Does anyone have experience with these bullets?

HAVE NOT USED THE 45GRSBULLETS BUT HAVE KILLED SEVERAL DEER WITH THE 50GR AND THE 55GR BARNES OUT OF MY 223 WHEN I TAKE A YOUTH HUNTING

Hoping these will group tight in my 22-250. I would like to shoot a deer this fall with that rifle.

 

[long40shot]

I put together a few test loads with Varget. So, the next time i get out I'll see how they do.

Tried 'em in a .223WSSM back in the day, and they were sizzlin' over 4100fps. But they shot like hot garbage, so that was the end of that...

How's your .22-250 twisted? If it's a 1:12, I'd prolly step up to the 53TSX, and go from there...

It's a 14. I tried the 50s and got so so results. I'm hoping the 45s might group better. If not, I'll try something else.

i used them on hogs. went thru most of the time. ones I found were from 200 yrds plus and could have been shot again..22-250,14 twist at 4025fps

The bullets didn't expand?

Doesn't sound too good.

Put some in 220 Swift. Really fast but did not expand. Not my go to bullet. But did I say fast ? Tommy Mc

I killed a quite a few javelina in Arizona with a 22-250 using them. Exit wounds were the size of a ping pong ball

 

[K22hornet.]

I've used the 45gr X, XLC and now the TSX, mostly in my Hornet, but also my 222RemMag.

In the Hornet, I get about 2,900fps with 13.0gr Lilgun and MOA. I use them mainly for coyotes, and they have increased the lethality of the Hornet on coyotes. The numbers of floppers and runners has been reduced by a lot.

I found the X and the XLC's to be difficult to find good accuracy with, but the TSX is very easy, in both the Hornet (Ruger M77 Sporter) and the 222RemMag (Sako L461).

I would not hesitate to use the 45gr TSX on medium size game, like deer and antelope, with the 222RemMag, within reasonable range.

 

[3-300s]

mostly neck and head shots, anything does good there..body shots and they run 50 or so. killed a 275lb sow at 300 yards. Bullet went in font of one shoulder and almost exited the other. meat stuck in the tip, flattened a tiny bit.
that's why it traveled so far being so light. they slow down fast
