How much expansion would you get with the tsx at 308 velocities?  I've heard they don't expand well unless the velocity is pretty high.  I have never used them so I have no experience with the expansion or lack there of.  Just wondering how that would work out if you had a long shot.  May just get a 30 cal hole straight thru which could mean a long tracking job with little blood to follow.  Of course that would also make them a little more fur friendly on the yotes.

308 with a good bullet will kill about anything.

In the TSX the 150g might give better performance.
Velocity is king with them.

Are you guys telling me that The Barnes TSX doesn't expand like the XBT's do? If so why buy them? I use the 30808 130 grain XBT in my 30-30 at speeds under 2600fps and this bullet does a number on whitetails, and really opens up even at 1000 fps. The TSX don't open up? Say it ain't so.......................
