Hey guys. Anyone here hunt Elk with Barnes TSX BT?s? If so, what were your results, and at what distance?
Can it kill an elk at extended ranges (between 400 and 600 yards) if the shooter does their job? I've never hunted with a Barnes bullet, never hunted with a copper bullet. So I am interested to know how these bullets perform at those longer ranges.
I shot 160 grain TSX BT?s (factory ammo) from my 7mm mag yesterday and had some really good groups. I was able to shoot groups at a ?? MOA. One group was ??MOA. While the Accubonds and Partitions are shooting 1.5"MOA.
Normally I don't shoot game at that distance, but I'm getting close to drawing a late season AZ elk tag, where 400 to 600 yard shots are more common and want to be prepared for that. But if this bullet can't kill an elk at that distance, ill forget about it and keep looking.
Thanks for any feedback fellas.
