Im getting ready to finish another build and wanted to know if anyone has used these .458 bullets. They look exactly like the TTSX that Barnes offers, same density and so on. They will be fired out of a 1/14 twist bbl. Thanks in advance........SKI RIFLES LLC

Dave thanks for the link....I have read this great post and that's why I was asking about the TACTX bullets. They look identical and the specs as well. Maybe the jackets are a different thickness. I will probably order the bullets and test them in this new build and slower twist rates as well. Thanks.........SKI |

The above TACTX bullets are the 458 300gr SOCOM bullets. Barnes renames them to stir up interest. They did the same thing with the 6.8 SPC bullets. Jacket thickness? They are all copper and will expand at any velocity down to around 1000 fps. I use them in my 45-70.

It seems the "TACTX" are in stock more than the SOCOM. Thanks again........SKI |

Ski rifles just seemed like first post you were coming here to advertise your stuff. No harm no fowl. I don't have anything relevant to add with that bullet. Never used it. Let us know how it works. Mothers days coming up. PM me your address, I'll send you flowers and candy. What ignition system you use in your builds.

I will def post pics of the targets and results I get with the Barnes. Hopefully they will be as good as others have with their loads. I ve used different types of ignition systems over the yrs. Im using a shoulder BP now and brass primer holders..:-) |

We have a strict policy about sales without board sponsorship.... Only I'm allowed to do it! Oh wait! No rules!! Post that rifle when you finish it and good luck with the bullets. I hear wearing a pink hat makes you a more accurate shooter  |

I usually shoot the best when I wear just shades and pink Ranger Panties. Ski- cut down cases or of your own design?

I shoot best naked but the board already had their laugh about it so now I wear extra small Ranger panties and an American flag trucker hat. Get off them crutches and we'll take a team pic at the range.

Only thing that would make less sense is if you tattled on yourself and gave it back.... Oh wait, you are that guy  |

Cole, the concusion from the hard landing from the last jump must have knocked something loose in the part of my brain responsible for doing that

Sounds like the pink branded ASG apparel won't just be for my wife.  |
