[QUOTE="cwinner, post: 604084, member: 17315"] Good points and I agree with the limited expansion of the TTSX. I guess this validates that old saying about " no silver bullet"........ Over the past couple years we have taken lots of game from Elk, Orxy, Barbary sheep, Deer and antelope with the TTSX and have only recovered 2 bullets. The one on the top is from a Mule Deer my son took at quartering away at 500 yds from a 30-06, 168gr TTSX and I estimate the impact velocity at about 2200fps. You can clearly see the limited expansion of the petals in this one. The Buck went about 50 yds and piled up.....500 is about max for a 30-06. The second is from a Barbary sheep shot quartering away at 200 yds with the 30-378, 180 TTSX impact somewhere around over 3150fps....as you can imagine it basically blew him off his feet!! We recovered the shank of the bullet in the neck on the offside. [ATTACH]5920.vB[/ATTACH] Our furthest kill to date has been 650 yds with the 30-378 on a Oryx, shot through both soulders and kicked up dust on the other side! [ATTACH]5922.vB[/ATTACH] I guess the ultimate solution would be to carry the rifle loaded with TTSX bullets and have a few of the Bergers in you pocket incase that perfect longe range broadside shot presents itself.........:) Thanks for the good discussion, this info should provide more field verification for others who are researching similar questions and looking for verified field performance.
