The 270 grn TSX performed so well in my .375 on my last trip, I’m leaning toward the 225 TSX for the Whelen. Added bonus is less expensive than the Swift, and readily available.

Thanks!

That’s what I was thinking. I’m using CFE223 with the Hot Cores, and it really performs well. I think the 225 Barnes at that velocity would be a dandy load.

Thanks!

Were those shot out of a Whelen? What was the velocity?

Thanks!

I wish Nosler liked it. It looks like the TBBC is only available in .375, .416, and .474.

I’ve read about quite a few Partition failures, and spoken with a number of hunters that have experienced the same. The Partition was great when it first came out, and for quite a few years afterwards, because there wasn’t really anything better. But now, there are some really good options...

Yeah, that’s a common problem with the more boutique bullet makers. Both Swift and North Fork will be at the DSC convention in Atlanta. I’ll check them both out and see if they have what I need.

I do like the Barnes bullets. Your experience mirrors mine with my .375 in Africa, and my 7mm here in the states. If the 225 TSX shoots well in my rifle, I’ll strongly consider it.

Is their semi-spritzer bonded? The website doesn’t say.

Primary are Eland, Kudu, and Blue Wildebest. Sable is a possibility, and then some other, smaller plains game.

I’m going back to Africa, and this time I’m taking my .35 Whelen. Last time my .375 with Barnes 270 grn TSX bullets performed flawlessly. I really like the TSX, but I’d like to go with a 250 grn bullet for the Whelen, but the TSX isn’t available in that weight. If I want that bullet, it’s...

Thanks!

Which ones are you using? Phantom? Shield?
