U will and most likely at worst possible time.


The tsx has probably had more problems with them failing to open, sometimes they work, sometimes they dont.

He is google king until you shoot em vg have a nice cup of stfu, you have no experience with them so you google pics that you have no clue where they came from of what they did and at very low velocities, 2000, 2200 that is a velocity issue have you not read? I always say light for caliber and at high velocities bang 2000-2200ft per sec ain't gonna do it!

keep using them you'll soon have one fail too, guarantee it.
TSX,s are snake oil and arent much better than the X which had there problems too. All copper boolits are haveing trouble, there just to darn hard for reliable expansion.

Run em light and fast no issues, hell I may have some extras laying around in .284 or .30 try em at the max loads and light you will change you mind. But you can't run heavy for caliber at low velocities bad things will likely occur I agree.

the point is these are whitetail and muleys not cape buffalo, nothing bonded, solid or heavy construction is needed. Yer buying into it, im not. Its a fix for a problem that doesnt exist

Seems the discussion has moved away from .243 VS .223 but I'd take a .243 any day.

Funny thing about getting older:
Your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to
see through people's BS gets much better.

Alot of hooplah.........I'd take the 243. My buddy hunts with an older savage in 243 and uses 100 gr Remington CoreLokts. He's taken 3 "Panhandle" whitetails and one hog with it the last couple of years with no issues.

So now corlokts are the bullet of choice?bang


Shoot whatever bullet outta whatever cartridge you want to, and if it works for you clap if it don't then you will know there are options to switch to, and hopefully you won't have to come that conclusion. Geez!

They've worked fine for a long time, just like the Speer Hot Cor, Winchester PowerPoint, and Hornady Spire Point.

Most of us who work hard to buy our "cheap arsed" rifles aren't going to cough up $3 a pop for magic boolits when cup and core has worked well for decades, even in the panhandle on mulies. Just my 2cents
