Sierra Game kings explode and may never reach the vitals if they hit shoulder bone I have used them!
I like they way they explode, took everything on the way out, including bone. try this with your tsx.

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.
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, b/c they know not victory nor defeat"- #26 TR

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.
