Chuck, until they aren’t shot inside 400y. A lot of people still dont run range finders and just use flat shooting bullets to make up for range estimation errors.
Sns, what distance does it become shooting and not hunting? Seems like guys are using light fast low drop bullets so they CAN use them at extended ranges.
Dean I agree there are a lot of poorly thought out ideas published online especially when people are stubborn and set in their ways dont have the equipment or time to test things for them selves or can’t fathom someone needing to preform in a different applications/environment than them.
I’m not poopooing your guys beloved barns if you like them by all mean use them especially for not putting lead particles in the meat there’s no debating that bonus of them. They for sure are not magical in fact they are just another bullet marketed to make money.

You are ignoring the fact that in 7mm the 150gr is the heaviest TTSX that Barnes currently lists, and that the 168gr LRX won't stabilize in many factory rifles. So for the 7mm cartridges, that leaves the 150TTSX as the heaviest TTSX , so shooting a heavier 7mm TTSX , is not an option. And even if there was a heavier 7mm TTSX , most people would still use the 140-150gr, because most people aren't interested in shooting at game animals past 500 yards.
As for the Barnes not being magical, neither are Bergers, yet some people would have us believe that Bergers are magical.
