[QUOTE="Tyler Kemp, post: 217088, member: 6290"] You're right Kirby. Depending on the game being hunted I'd most likely rather have the TSX. I'm not for taking iffy shots, even if a hardcast is going to get through the vitals. They leave mostly a straight line wound channel. I shot a coyote with my 45-70 and subsonic cast loads, and it ran a ways...and died. But the bullet didn't expand, and didn't penetrate through. (started facing at me, through front left leg, ended up in right back leg) I think an expanding bullet would be better on smaller (and possibly medium game) as long as you take a good shot. Sorry for being a bit combative, didn't mean it to come off that way either. When I said do almost as well, I meant as a combination of penetration and expansion. Both have their pros and cons, and different uses depending on the game. [/QUOTE]
