Anyone loading Barnes TSX bullets in their 243's? If so how do they perform?

I have used them in my 22-250 and 7-30 Waters and 7mm Mag and they worked flawlessly in every one. I shot my 22-250 in water just to see how it would perform. From the looks of the bullet it reminded me of the quarter, money not size, size exit wound found on my deer that was shot with my 7mm Mag with a 140 grain bullet.

not something i would need, since a regular bullet would do any job i'd do with a .243 for much less $. options are excellent though, n it's great we have them to choose from if felt needed.

What my barrel liked was a 95 Nosler BT over 4198.

For the lower MV's of specialty handguns I would lean to a more fragile bullet like the accubond, ballistic tip, game kings, etc.
