[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1773896, member: 30902"] I've got neighbor that shot the TSX exclusively for many years. On raking shots they sometimes would follow the outline of the ribs failing to penetrate but ripping a horrendous gash down the side of the deer or hog. Over 15 years I probably had to track down a half dozen or more horribly wounded animals for him hit in such a way. I think I mentioned the TTSX has performed exceptionally well for me in my AR's on hogs but those are strictly head/neck shots. That's my total experience with them. On hogs we frequently get nothing but "The Texas Heart Shot" as they are running straight away from us and even on really big hogs the LRX has performed well for me out of the 7mm STW's, .300wm''s, 300 Rum's, and .375 Ruger, although on hogs bigger than 300lbs they have rarely exited whereas the Peregrine VLR4 has never failed to even on a huge boar that was north of 600lbs. The latter was just a monster I caught alone running up a water way directly way from me. First shot struck him just below the pelvis and exited low, left center chest. That immediately took the starch out of him but didn't put him down. After a few steps he stopped and gave me a solid pofile shot and followed up with one though both shoulders and the spine. Unfortunately he had one tusk almost 5" long and the other was broken off at the gum line presumably from fighting or he'd have definitely been a "wall hanger". [/QUOTE]
