Barnes TSX vs Swift A-Frame on Buffalo

[Piet-Vis]

How was the terminal performance of 270 gr TSX?

Well the Hippo was dead.

I'm a Swift Aframe person. I have always had great luck with them.

They just work all the time no matter what they hit!

I have used 4 types on buff. A-Frames, TSX, Bonded Solids, and Trophy bonded bear claws. I also used an unknown bullet from a manufacturer in Europe. All worked heart.
Right now, I have 200 or more TSX’s on hand so those are choice now!

I've shot 2 big buffalos on safari. One at about 65 yards board side neck shot. The other 20 yards front brain shot right between the eyes. These were both full grown bulls both FREE CHASE one was 43 inches from Zambia both shot near the Laungwa.

Both shot with a .375 H&H magnum 300 grain swift A-Frames. My 2017 buffalo ran about 20 yard and keeled over. I followed up with an insurance shot. The second buffalo June of 24 I shot him right between the eyes and he fell at the spot he was didn't flinch or move.

I shot my crocodile at 85 yards this past year. Neck shot behind the smile with the same bullet. He didn't move, just wagged his tail a little. Followed up with a devastating shoulder shot. I shot a bull elephant with the same rifle, 3 shots he went down. I love TTSX for think skinned game. If I were to tell you to use a bullet for dangerous game in Africa it would be the Swift A-Frames.

Just my 2 cents.

Having used both on Buffalo , I prefer the Barnes TSX 300gn. My rifle likes them better but I wouldn’t be afraid to use the A-Frame any day.
