[QUOTE="MSLRHunter, post: 445228, member: 20566"] I have a TTSX bullet story to tell as well. A good friend that I have a deer lease with went out last week to shoot a doe. He is shooting a Rem 700 in 7mm STW, with a 26" Hart barrel. His TTSX bullets had a MV of 3150. The doe was at 125 yards, quartering to the shot. He said when the bullet hit her, that she took off running and he could see that her front shoulder was broken from the way her leg was flopping. She ran about 75 to 100 yds with no blood trail. He was able to find her, and made some interesting discoveries while skinning the deer. The entry hole was where he was aiming...the point of the shoulder...the bullet went through the shoulder, through the abdominal cavity and lodged under the skin on the opposite hind quarter. The bullet was revovered and to our surprise it had not expanded!!! The polymer tip was gone, and the end of the bullet was slightly rounded, but there was no expansion at all. That bullet hit shoulder bone at about 3000 fps, went through the entire abdominal cavity and still did not expand. He is going to send the bullet and an account of the story to Barnes. [/QUOTE]
