[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2764744, member: 4191"] I didn't think the original X bullet expanded as well as the next generation TSX bullets. Used a box of .284 160gr TSX bullets on 20 or so blacktail deer on Kodiak Island. Shot from a 280 RCBS Improved. The deer died with chest shots, but they would travel quite a distance with broadside chest shots. I presumed the bullets weren't opening very quickly, so they lacked the more rapid release of energy and tissue damage needed to kill more quickly. The good part? They didn't damage a lot of meat, provided you could track and find the deer. I still have a few cartridges loaded with those bullets. [/QUOTE]
