Q: What is the cross sectional density of the projectile, and what is it's ballistic coefficient?
Posted On: 10/21/11 By: Eric
A: The sectional density of the Barnes TSX 85gr .243 projectile is .206 and the G1 ballistic coefficient is .333.
Q: Are these reloader friendly?
Posted On: 10/21/11 By: Anonymous
A: Yes, this ammo uses brass cases that are ideal for reloading.
Q: I was told that you can hunt game that is farther away when the gr is lower, is that true? What game should I hunt with this, 80gr bullet?
Thanks,
Brian

A: Not necessarily. With some calibers, a lighter bullet that is faster is therefore a little flatter shooting than a slower, heavier bullet. Other times, the heavier, and longer, bullets are more aerodynamic and although they still start off at a slower speed, they retain more speed at range, dropping less and also retaining more energy. Although this Barnes TTSX .243 bullet is only 80 grains, because it is solid copper, it is less dense, longer, and therefore more aerodynamic than a lead core bullet of the same diameter and mass. It would be a good choice for deer sized game.
