Lol... tsx might actually be worse...It is in my 257 and 243.

Just wait until you have one blow up or seperate from the core and not make it to the vitals... then you chasing down a deer trying to get a bullet in the vitals.

Sucks and I probably killed 40 plus deer with that load....happened twice with the 243 and once with 270....

I don't like having to worry about bone..rib, shoulder what ever.

I've been impressed with the ttsx in my 243...but I have been shock at what they do in a 22-250 and 257wby.

X2

The only deer I ever lost was to a 130gr Sierra Game King in a .270win, hit him square in the shoulder and thought he wouldnt go far...I still cant believe howmuch blood that deer lost but it didnt go down fast enough and a couple of okies carried it off.

Heres a 100gr TSX that dropped a hog then continued through to kill another hog and I found it under the skin of the second hog...killing 2 hogs and making contact at 3500fps and only looseing 7 percent of its weight.

I'm no pro like y'all so what is the difference in the TSX and TTSX. I haven't put a TSX into a deer yet but the rifle shoots them real good.
