Nice but what's with the "extreme"? Its like when manufacturers use the word "ultra" in the name or description of a product.
What's the next product going to be called, the extremely extreme ultra super slug lol.
Anyway, nice to see a bigger piece of single use plastic being dumped into the environment than we normally get lol.

I think that bigger piece of plastic is the 'extreme' bit - as it is something like 48% the diameter of the bullet..'theoretically'...to enable better expansion and initial shock.

Yep, it'll be extremely good at getting into birds gizzards

Keith, reckon you should get DRT results.
And when you say drop, do they seem like they've got plenty of shocking power? I can only guess that in .270 they must be expanding pretty well.

Plastic is finding its way into seabird chicks stomachs and it stays there eventually killing the bird through starvation.And that will cause,.........
When I were a lad and we used lead no one seemed to have a problem with it. But now it seems the moment we try to improve something we just cause an issue elsewhere.

Expand very well in the 270, haven’t seen other non lead bullets expand as much.
That sounds promising!
Sorry Steve, put that to me in layman's terms
And I thought he meant something like 'down range tested'..........Not sure I am any the wiser
Would see that at a benefit, not a downside?

I appreciate the sentiment regarding stray plastic but in reality the chances of tips from spent bullets causing harm to birds must be negligible to say the least.
Hopefully Winchesters bullet with it’s larger cavity will allow a wider band of effective impact velocity - if so I’m surprised Barnes hasn’t added such a bullet to their line - if only to allow it to be called ‘TTSSXXX-Ultra-Mega’ or whatever

Surely that's what you'd want?
I think that wanting a lethal round that drops a deer on the spot yet results in absolute minimal meat damage is a bit like wanting a wide, lofty twin-cab pick-up that does 80 mpg. It's a nice thought but very difficult to turn into a reality.
