Bullet Performance Database

I just found one of the many failed Barnes X bullets I have seen over the years, this is a 300gr .375 H&H I think it was a Federal Premium Factory load.

From a Buffalo I had to back up on, normally the Barnes are Ok in .375 H&H on Buffalo but some times they fail, never have had a Swift A Frame or Trophy Bonded Bear Claw fail.

Saying this I had just bought some TSX in 9.3 286gr as I couldn't find anything better (had trouble even finding these) for my hunt that might include a Dwarf/Forest Buff so was trusting them enough for that.

Unfortunately I will now be using a open sighted 7x64mm.
At this years SCI convention in Nashville I bought every 9.3 286 grain bullet Swift had at the show, I ended up with 4 boxes of Swift A frames. I also got some 250 Grain TTSX from the Barnes booth.
 
Well @Art Lambart II you are well heeled then.

I did manage to sweet talk a deer hunter out of his 300gr 9.3 A Frames but now I have SAF & TSX that I’m not going to use on my coming hunt next month.

I might just shoot a few smaller Red Stags to see if 9.3 TSX set up on them, as I said most of our hunters that use the 300gr in the .375 H&H on Buffalo have success with it, I’m not a fan of the TSX on smaller game it has proven a slow kill.

Again using old mind set, I suspect very light & fast may work but there are plenty of better bullets for that.
