Proper Dagga boy.

Emailed Barnes for required velocities to expand on the Barnes TTSX. Barnes rep,” An impact velocity of 1700 fps will get you about 1.7x expansion of the bullet’s original diameter. If 2x expansion is desired, which we suggest, then add approximately 100-200 fps.”
Choreographed 350gr TTSX, 54gr IMR3031 compressed at only 2000fps in my 416WSM.
I’m there but not much extra for distance. Will try other loads.
