[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1393838, member: 82202"] I have harvested about 10 deer with TSX/TTSX bullets this season. Starting with .308 win 130 TSX then 338 federal 160TTSX and 260 remington 120 TSX. All were DRT save one. Ranges were all inside 200 yards and weights from 175 to 90 pounds live. The only one that moved after the shot was a 90 pounder shot in the neck with a 120 TSX the bullet made a 1" exit wound in the neck and the deer was able to get up and travel about ten yards where it required dispatching. All the deer hit in the chest hardly moved after the shot. The most impressive were the .308 win 130 TSX 175 pound whitetail range about 50 yards fell at the shot behind the shoulder picked his head up and that's it. Shot one with the 338 federal range about 150 weight about 160 live the deer laid down quartering to me at a steep angle the bullet went through about 8" of neck into the chest and stopped in front of the offside hind quarter penetrating hide 3 time through 30" of whitetail leaving a 2" wound channel throughout. The bullet recovered was text book barnes performance 159.5gr. No complaints whatsoever I would not recommend the small bullets on big necks though. Good luck and shoot straight Bob [/QUOTE]
