[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 656620, member: 34084"] I got my info from Barnes. They do a lot of terminal effects testing on live animals - usually during herd management for local ranches. the Barnes TSX and TTSX is designed to expand due to hydrostatic pressure inside the tip. As long as the tip isn't filled with bone or collapsed, expansion is reliable over a range of velocities. For reasons I can't remember, bullets going faster than this range don't expand reliably either. At normal velocities, TSX bullets rarely fragment. At muzzle velocity, though, anything can happen. Nothing wrong with hitting bone. But it isn't necessary. [/QUOTE]
