[QUOTE="the444shooter, post: 83289, member: 46"] Just be wary of up close (high impact velocity) performance...it has been spotty to say the least. Lots of controversy about terminal performance on deer and elk. I've used them on Deer and Antelope, complete pass through on the antelope, raking shot, right rear flank to left front shoulder, GOOD terminal performance. No pass through on 2 yr old Mule Deer buck, neck shot---penetrated to offside hide, ~10"-12" of muscle and bone-completely pancaked-not great terminal performance. Cartridge was 300RUM, 180gr Swift Scirrocos Factory load. Other people I have spoken with that have had first hand failures include 2 elk, (one cow, one bull)--On the cow, the bullet pancaked so bad that it barely made it to the offside lung on a broadside shot--300 RUM. Bull was with a 7mm, long(ish) shot down a canyon, pancaked against the spine, bull was still alive but paralyzed when they got up to him. I will be using the TSX for this season if I can just get the dang things to shoot. Just FYI for you---would hate for you to have a good hunt go bad. [/QUOTE]
