[QUOTE="Broz, post: 815037, member: 7503"] The TSX at 300 yards will kill like any bullet when placed in the vitals. I don't use them anymore but when I did they worked best at 300 or less. When we missed any bone going in I was less than impressed. They do penetrate and if you will take a shot at the *** of a fleeing bull this bullet might be a good choice. you said "massive internal damage". That describes the way a Berger works, especially at 300 and less. My choice for a 300 wby would be the 215 or 230 Berger on elk. They flat put them down. Don't worry about the freebore of your rifle either. I shot 1000's of 210 and 230's now through a factory 30-378. In fact the bull to the left was from a 210 in a 30-378 Accumark. All the factory Weatherby's I loaded for shot groups of 3/4" or less at 100 yards with Bergers. The custom barreled rifles were all 1/2 moa to 1000 yards. Don't take my word for it on the Berger terminal performance. Just read this thread. See if this is what you are after.
