[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 629061, member: 41442"] Ed all i can say is Im telling it the way it happened. Im sure if you called nosler or sierra theyd sing the praises of there bullets too. Im not really badmouthing them. Like i said if i was going to hunt elk with a 243 id probably load some again but not for deer. From what ive seen if you shoot enough game with them your going to have a bad experience. You can use what you will but ive lost confindense in them and wont again. Funny thing is i shot a couple with etip noslers which are another monolithic bullet and out of my 7 mag they slammed deer. Bottom line though is a couple experiences isnt near enough to make judgements on either bullet. I just have put a few to many miles on tracking deer last year shot with them to risk another. By the way my hunting partner shot 3 last year with 100 grain tsx bullets out of his 2506 too. One was lost and two took some tracking. he agreed with me totaly. As a matter of fact theres 8 boxes of tsx bullets sitting by the door right now. Ive got a buddy who loves them and he wants them. hes used them in africa and sings there praises. I respect him totaly so like i said im not the last answer in this. Bottom line though is he can play with them as i dont want to play anymore. [/QUOTE]
