Can anyone advise on the best Barnes TTSX weight for the .270?. It will be used on red hinds and the occasional stag.
Have bought some Norma 110 grain TTSX and these recoil noticeably less than the 130 grain. Is the 95 grain TTSX too light?.
I'll be using RS 60, and data suggests these could be driven at 3500 fps+. Is this too fast or should I stick with the mid range 110 grain TTSX?....Any advice please. TIA.

All will work just fine, the lighter will have a lesser bc but under 400 yards that isn't important. All you need do is the know the drop for whatever load you choose, ( do the shooting not a theoretical drop table).

Using 110gr TTSX on N135 developing 3298 fps and it drops fallows and reds on the spot from my 20" Tikka T3X

Absolutely not what you asked but also
Consider the Hornady cx

I believe there’s 110-130 gr

I'm using 95gr ttsx coupled with 57gr RS 62. Only used on Fallow, Muntjac and Roe so far, getting a MV of around 2900/3000 fps lowland shooting out to around 250/300 yards maximum.Accuracy clover leaf groups at 100 off quad sticks.

130gn @ 2950fps is perfect
