Default 80 gn ttsx and superformance powder

Has any one tried this combo in their .243? What about superformance powder?Any one tried it? “The book” is a big fan of it.

Can’t comment on the powder, but the last 3 deer I looked at died from the 80 gr ttsx Barnes factory loads and the performance was impressive. Loonie sized entrance, toonie sized exit, no discernible lung tissue left, almost no meat damage, and a very short, very obvious blood trail.

Awesome bullet in the 243 as its not too hard to get great velocity with several different powders. Id have to check but I think I used Hybrid 100 V

I defiantly agree that the bullets seem to be exceptional. My son killed a bear last year with the .243 and Barnes bullet. It was instantly fubar.
