[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1767822, member: 30902"] I have limited experience with the TSX and TTSX. They tend to be very rapidly expanding bullets, more so than I've seen with the LRX. The LRX seems to be very consistent with it's expansion but overall to expand less than the others at similar velocities. My neighbor shot the TSX and TTSX in .243 for his kids and in a .257 weatherby and I had to help them track down quite a few dear that had been shot well placement wise with really nasty entrance wounds limited penetration at best and no exits particularly on anything other than a perfect broadside shot. At even a slight angle they seemed to blow up even on light bone such as ribs. While I haven't shot a whole lot of game yet with the LRX I have yet to see anything similar, consistent expansion producing golfball or slightly smaller exits even when passing directly through the shoulders of big hogs. This would accounty for a couple of dozen animals shot with the .260's and 7mm STW's, six hogs and five deer shooting them in the .375 Ruger. Definitely performed better for me than the Hornady GMX that didn't seem to want to expand much if any at all. I shot a big deer a full length body shot rear to front two years ago with the 250gr GMX producing only a slightly larger than caliber exit and the buck ran a good 300 yards before cratering. The only similar shot I've made with the LRX was on a very large boar running almost straight away. The shot exited the Left chest/shoulder area and he stopped in about 10 yards obviously about to crater but it was near dark so I put another one through both shoulders and dropped him in his tracks. While I still consider the Peregrine to be the best Monolithic I have ever shot the LRX continues to perform well and is a solid second. [/QUOTE]
