Last year I switched to that Barnes TTSX in 130.

My dad had enormous success with this round out of his 300 magnum when nothing else would shoot well. He tried Hornady SSTs, Nosler Ballistics, Swift Sciroccos, and some other lead-tipped bullets, and his rifle never seemed to like any of them. But the minute he changed to the Barnes TTSX, he was printing 1/3MOA groups. Granted, he is handloading so your mileage may vary, but everyone seems to love this round.

That all-copped construction and the way it's designed creates awesome expansion and almost assures an exit wound.

I'm considering working up some loads in 30-06 to see how they perform. I imagine they will perform well.
