Has anyone compared the 110cx to the 110 tac Barnes
Or tried the 110cx out if so how did they go
What sub projectile recommendations for deer ones I was using were a 210 grn
Lead hollow point but guy who was making them had a stroke
And his Mold is no longer in production
Projectile was almost straight wall with a 4mm hole that was pretty
Deep
Any recommendations for a projectile around the same weight
Most copper bullets, including the 110 CX and the Barnes, are designed to go fast. Both bullets are ideal in a Blackout but with an MV of around 2000fps.
For subs, I would be running something in the 190-220gr, and with a lead core or lead. The exception would be if the copper was specifically designed to be shot at subsonic speeds like some of the Makers for example.
Remember, energy kills. So if you limit your MV to 1050 (subsonic), the only other option to increase energy to to increase bullet mass, therefore, a heavy bullet is the answer.
I have an Noe HP mold about 235 gn and 2 mp hollow point molds one 230gn and one 125. Trouble is they're all packed up as we're moving

Was curious if some one had compared the 110 cx to them
Had great results with the Barnes but getting very thin on the ground plus
Very expensive
Ordered a packet of the hornady 110 cx to try in some ballistics gel
So will be able to compare them over Xmas hopefully
Get what you mean with the subs was hoping some one out there was possibly casting heavy hollow point
Lead pills or could recommend a mold and projecitle design that works well
I have had the best results with softer lead powder coated hollow points
Just can’t get the ones I was running anymore and Mold is obsolete
Is one of the heavy Molds possibly for sale in the future ?Quote:

These ones

I have the Barnes TAC TX 110 & 120 in stock as well as the 130 TTSX etc
For decent subsonic terminal performance the purpose built lathe turned copper projectiles are the only way forward, Lehigh, Maker etc
Not cheap but way more game on the ground quickly & less tracking
I also have some Lehighs & Makers in stock :)
