[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2472411, member: 117774"] I've only recovered one TSX and one TTSX bullets. Both had penetrated over two feet of animal before stopping one in the hip bone of a large mulie/blacktail mix and the other from a diagonal shot from back to front on a large bull elk - bullet stopped in the far shoulder bone. All other 30+ kills with these bullets have been complete pass thru's on both elk and deer with the far side hide showing a clover petal exit and the wound channel from start to finish about 4 to 6 inches. I'd say performance has been perfect! I did try their newer long range bullet last year and the first Kill - a cow elk at 420 yds was perfect. As stated above, speed is not an issue as long as impact velocity is above 2000 fps - expansion is gonna happen. With the long range bullet, I believe it only needs 1500 FPS. I know Barnes states a lower velocity, but with the calibers I'm shooting, the 2000 minimum threshold is way beyond the range I will take a shot. [/QUOTE]
