[QUOTE="Chesterrose79, post: 2661365, member: 112897"] I think it all depends on distance you are wanting this performance at. What distance are you planning on shooting most of your game at and the speeds needed for proper expansion. I’m not sure if both of those bullets are designed to expand reliability at the same velocity. I just shot a cow moose @80yRds with a 7mm rem mag 150gr TTSX @3250 at the muzzle and it went through both shoulders and the entrance hole was identical to the exit. No expansion at all due to how high the velocity was. Today I shot a mule doe at 250m with the same bullet and velocity through the ribs and exit hole was 3 times the size as the entrance so it expanded. I feel if I was running a heavier bullet at slower velocities for the TTSX I would have had expansion on the moose kill. [/QUOTE]
