In short... The Barnes TTSX is the shiznit. Now, to expand on that... You get the best of all worlds combined. Accuracy, dependability, deep penetration, high weight retention, decent/better than average ballistic coefficient for a strictly hunting bullet, and a polymer to help with controlled expansion. There's no doubt the Barnes TSX/TTSX have taken the hunting world by storm in the past few years, and for good reason. Actually, I guess that should be reasons. I have seen animals die from a Barnes bullet from a 257 wby, 270 wsm, 7 rem mag, 300 wsm, from ranges of 15 yards, to almost 600 yards varying from fox, bobcat, coyote, javelina to deer, nyala, baboons (how many people can say they shot a baboon with a TTSX?), all the way up to red hartebesst and elk. And the result has always been the same. Stuff is dead very quickly, MOST of the time right on the spot. I can, with 100% honesty say I have NEVER lost an animal that a had a piece of copper stuck in him or her. To improve on that, only one has needed more than one shot, and that was because of a heavy cross wind that I did not account enough for in Africa. To answer the question at hand... Is a Tipped TSX needed over a TSX? I don't believe so, but it adds a couple of very nice bonuses that do come in handy. First and foremost is the polymer tip. Truthfully, this is about the only distinction between the two, but it is like going from a coach, to first class. The polymer tip adds to the BC, and, in my personal opinion, the flight in general, as the tip of the bullet is sleek and smooth instead of a cumbersome and awkward hollow point. Secondly, the tip aids in perfect expansion, giving the trade mark 'X' to the bullet. A lot has been said about the smallish exits of game shot with a TTSX/TSX. News flash... This bullet is not designed to give gaping exit wounds. It is designed to leave massive destruction, gnarly wound channels, penetrate deeply, and retain a high percentage (read, 95%+) of its original weight. Next are a few photos for your viewing pleasure... Some of these animals died via TTSX, some died via TSX... See if you can tell the difference. The bullets attached are all TTSX, one recovered from a 80ish pound black springbok, one recovered on a quartering to coues deer, and one from a quartering away red hartebeest. Their accuracy abilities at a lasered 510 yards.

He is one ugly SOB! But can sure cook a pizza!

His arms are bent, not extended and those tongs dont look that long.. DEFINITELY not long enough for me to get close to a snake! I wouldn't doubt it being a real snake, maybe somewhere in Texas, but with their drought I doubt it. Been in Arizona/Tucson my entire life. Put ALLOT of miles on truck tires, boots etc. I've never seen anything remotely close to that.

It depends Doug, do you still have your vintage 1990's phone, or are you in with the times with a more modern phone that receives signal better?

I have a bullador at my house right now from the litter my dogs had. a better dog you will be hard pressed to find. They are all amazing with kids have a great temperaments and are friendly as can be. I sold all of the pups I had for right around 500 dollars and every person I have talked to I said they are worth every penny. if you look for them in a pet store, you will find brindle females go for around 2000 dollars.

I already posted a quote directly from the pac-12 commision page. There might not (and isnt) a top to bottom tournament, but last time I check a 3 team round robin is still a tournament. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/round-robin ": a tournament in which every contestant meets every other contestant in turn "
