[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 563144, member: 34818"] I have shot three mule deer with the 100 gr TSX's and it has put every deer down without a step. I am using a 25-06 though. Each shot has been from 300 to 340 yards. It doesnt open up as much as I thought that it would. The last deer that I shot with it didn't even know what happened to it (I think). I could see the dust fly up on the other side letting me know that it was a complete pass through. The deer just looked up and bent its head down to the ground like it was going to take another bite of grass. Blood started pouring out of its nose and mouth and it just face planted into the ground. When I got to it, the exit wound was not very big and there was a small hole going through both lungs. The lungs were not turned to mush like you would see with other bullets. I dont know what the deal was but it put the deer down. I wanted to stretch my 25-06 out to 500 to 600 yards and still feel comfortable with it taking the game cleanly so I am going to try the 115 gr berger this year and see how it does on game. If it doesn't perform, I may try the 110 accubond. [/QUOTE]
