I bought these based on the positive experience with the 30 cal 110gr TTSX FB Barnes I use in my 300 BLK for whitetail. They are super accurate and pack a punch when loaded to standard velocities. Shot placement is key and I've had great results with expansion with well placed shots. The 160 FB are for my obscure 7x66 SE vH Mauser that will not tolerate boat tail bullets. I've had reasonable accuracy with Norma Tipstrike 160 FB and intend to try to equal or exceed my results. It will be nice to have a lead free alternative to the Normas but that's not why I buy the Barnes. They are consistent, accurate, and super well made.
