[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 656965, member: 41442"] I guess if your going to be pushing 3500 fps a cup and core bullet might not be right for you but personaly ive shot a few deer with loads like that and still ate venison. As to the tsx performance i just posted what my actual experience with them has been. I shoot 50 or more deer every year doing crop damage shooting and get a good chance to compare bullet performance. Ive shot a truck load of deer with corelock bullets and the only bad experiences i had with them was from not opening up enough not from them overexpanding. Keep in mind though that a short shot for us is 250 yards and many go out past 400. At those ranges a combo like an 06 using 180 corelocks is going to create some tracking duties. Ive also shot a truckload of deer with partitions with everything from a 6mm to a 257 wby to a 300wby and 8mags and have yet to loose an animal to them and can count the time they ran out of sight after a hit by counting the toenails on my right side big toe. Even that one didnt get but about 20 yards into the woods.
