[QUOTE="longshooter70, post: 334896, member: 14562"] Im kinda late to the forum but here are my observations. I shot a 120# doe this weekend with a 110gr TSX out of my 270 WSM. She was about 30 yds broadside. The bullet entered just behind the right shoulder (bullet size hole) and exited just behind the left shoulder (golf ball size hole). She bucked and ran maybe 20 yards with blood blowing everywhere. Both lungs and heart were literally mush. My son, two days earlier shot a 115# spike at 20 feet with a 22-250 with 53 gr TSX. Perfect heart shot. The deer didn't act as if hit and ran 30 yards and piled up. Blood everywhere. Bullet size entrance and quarter size exit. Both these bullets were in the 3500 + fps area upon impact. I've been using the TSX in .224, .277, and .308 for a few years now and all results have been very similar. I did lose a nice ten point while shooting 130 gr Ballistic Silver Tips from the 270 WSM. No blood. Shot was good. That's the reason I switched and have not looked back. From the numerous deer that have been harvested with the 22-250 and 53 gr TSX with NEVER a loss Im sold on this bullet and performance. Just my opinion and first hand observations for what it's worth. Good shooting! [/QUOTE]
