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.

Thanks but the Thread is about the 350gr TTSX in 416.
Haven’t been able to find Accurate 2520 yet but want to try it.

Yes, I'm quite sure 75 grains 2520 with the 350 TSX would work good
