[QUOTE="Sako7STW, post: 731634, member: 2112"] Wow, that is horrible performance and NOT the performance I have seen at all. Over the years between myself, wife, grandfather, dad, and father-in-law, I have seen the 25-06 kill atleast 20 elk without a single lost elk. I killed even a B&C bull moose with mine in 95'. I have watched my wife kill a 5x6 bull at 280 yards, 100gr TSX, full pass through right through the boiler room. Then 2 years later killed a very decent 6x6 bull at 410 yards. Bullet was sitting between the ribs and the hide on the off side. Since 2004 i have been using a 127gr Groove bullet (very simular to the TSX) @3850 fps in my 7STW and so far everything it has touched has hit the dirt and in my freezer. Yes it is a laser to 500 yards and I love it. They however are no longer made. This year I tried the 145gr LRX and did not retrieve a bullet, very minimal damage though. Infact first broadside shot I could not find the entrance hole. Second shot followed the spine down and came out through the head on a quartering away shot. I am on the fence as to how well I like this bullet. I think it is possibly too solid and sharp and just pencil holing. If I can get the 120gr. TSX to work in my STW I might try it next. In .30 cal my bro shoots the 300 Roy with the 150gr TSX at first and switched to the TTSX and this year is going back to the TSX because is simply had better terminal performance. The last 2 years it has taken several shots to bring down his elk with the TTSX, with the TSX years prior 1-2 shots every time. The TTSX didnt penetrate any farther than the TSX but the wounds with the TSX are just more violant but within reason. [/QUOTE]
