[QUOTE="gerryb, post: 643533, member: 37838"] I have used the TSX and the TTSX on just about everything. I have heard they pencil through so I thought shooting a jackal at 25 yes with 180 TSX at 3000 fps in the ribs I could lifesize mount him, no way blew him in half and I actually got blood on me , so much for that.I have been able to cull whitetail and with a 25-06 and 257 bee are the only round I have never had a deer take a step. I have used 270, 30-06 ,300 win but some ran 20 yards. I shot a nice leopard last year with a 300 TSX from a 375 RUM at 40 yards dead right there . I have been trying to get one to fail or pencil or anything else so I could try some north forks but it has never happened.I tried some 140 north forks in a 6.5 weatherby and every thing was bang flop out to 673 yards also 120 TTSX same thing on several deer out to 500 . I lost two deer with the 6.5 weatherby with 140 Berger VLD's trying for long shots over 500. I had read good things about them but in my experience and that is just mine I will stick with TSX as the best killer with north forks equal after that a step down. I have not had the most experience but 31 African safaris and well over 500 north american animal ranging from javalina to grizzly these things I read about have never happened to me. Maybe I am just lucky but I don't thin so.I would not hesitate to use nosler partition or accubonds or ballistic tips and would shoot anything with swift a frame but other than those I am worried. I DP shoot most animals through the shoulders so I can not say much on lung shots which may be different. [/QUOTE]
