TTSX for .30-30 Can it be done safely?

[sk8804]

I am curious and am not a reloader but leverevolution bullets have the same style tip as the barnes ttsx bullets do from what I have felt and seen. Has anybody ever loaded a TTSX for .30-30? It seems like it would be great for accuracy just as the leverevolutions are. Please school me.

No the flex tip is soft the TTSX is hard plastic I would not do it, plus the bullets are not made to open at 30-30 velocities.

ahhh. I figured there had to be design flaws for that cal. Thank you.

I know a few guys who load pointed bullets in the tube fed lever guns but they only carry one round in the chamber and one in the magazine.

If you're determined to load pointed bullets, this is the way to do it.

[sk8804]

yeah if i did it that would be the way.

Why not just load up the FTX bullets? (these are what the leverrevolution use).

I'm guessing the need for condor ammo.

Give barnes an email. They'll tell you how fast you need to push that bullet to expand on game. That may or may not be within the capability of the cartridge. Then again, you may not need much expansion depending on what you are hunting...

[sk8804]

yeah it has to be leadfree. I will probably just stick to the TSX line since it will be too much trouble with the ttsx. Thanks all

can you load multiples when running tsx? I would have thought tsx and ttsx have no advatanges based on tip at all.

Meaning I'd be picking based on which requires less velocity to expand.
Nevermind. I see barnes offers a tsx FN for 30-30.
