Barns indicates the TSX came out in 2003. What did people kill deer with prior to that?

Someone on here said he popped a deer with his pellet gun so I have 2 questions, if he reads this would he sell me that thing? And if so then can anybody suggest what a good deer pellet is?

Model T has been off the market for 75+ years, Bag phone for 25+.

Mouse trap is still on the market. So is the flush toilet. Doesn't keep people from building "better" and more expensive versions... stir

IMO the lead free bullets will "take over the market" when the EPA bans lead bullets.

beter at what, for non magnum calibers nothing beats a cup and core, reliable expansion at all velocities, for magnums at there intended ranges, cup and core as well, magnums at a 100 yds, bonded all the way

My dad started me out on a 30-30 single shot H&R at age 7. My uncle started my cousin out on a 7mm Mag at age 10. Both of us made a kill on the first shot even though we knew the guns kicked like hell. Don't be discouraged by the larger round. To get him used to the 243, if it has to much of a kick, put a little extra padding behind the butt of the gun. Won't be much more of a difference than shooting in a t-shirt versus coveralls or a heavy coat. He won't worry about or even feel the kick when the shot goes off anyhow. Good luck to the both of you.

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.



I call bs

I have put no less than 50 head of big game down with the X since 1994. No failures and no recovery either. Didnt matter if it was a bull elk shot at 250 yards with a 270 or a 252 lb 162 inch KS WT shot at 240 yards with a 300 win mag. they died quickly and what went in didnt stay in them.

I have fired a couple and fired them when it mattered. They have not let me down and anyone that hunts with me will attest and most are believers now and converted.

When the deer of a lifetime walks out, I want copper, cause thats his [censored].
