[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 712987, member: 25760"] I don't post much, but I'll add my .02 for what its worth. I've hunted for over 40 yrs. I've had bullet failures from Speer and Ballistic tips. Where the bullet "blows up" on impact on a shoulder. Even on antelope...A few years ago I saw a great write up on the TTSX bullets that were tried in Africa. So I bought some to try. The accuracy has been very good. Performance has been good. A few years ago I punched the south end of a north bound 4 pt mule deer. .270 WSM w/ a 130 TTSX. I thought my buddy had hit him while running. He went less than 200 yards. Bullet was recovered on the front shoulder. Almost all of the way through. Elk 2 yrs ago. Large 5X5. Bullet through the shoulder and he went perhaps 75 yards. 300 WSM w/ a 150 grain TTSX. My son killed a elk that yr and again this yr. Seem to do a good job. Best advice has been given. Hit bone and run them relatively fast. I have NOT shot the TSX. Use the TTSX. They open up faster. I've only recovered 3 bullets. All opened up w/ 4 petals as advertised. My hunting buddy has admired the fact that they open up and "kill" well. This yr. I'm trying Bergers in my new 6.5-06. Good results so far. Opposite end. Use heavy for caliber bullets. My sheep and antelope didn't go far. Hopefully get to try it on a deer soon. Bruce [/QUOTE]
