[QUOTE="Hornyforracks, post: 1992142, member: 115611"] You might give a harder bullet, like a Barns a try. At sub 20 yards I've put a 165ttsx @ 3175MV through a decent buck, broadside angling back and down (elevated shooting position) Meat damage was minimal, exit hole was quarter sized, internals were devastated, buck was dead before it hit the ground. Really, it was a perfect result, despite how close the buck was. After seeing results like that a few times, the ttsx has become my go to bullet anytime I'm expecting close range shots with medium or large cartridges. . .but I prefer something softer with a much higher BC when prioritizing longer ranges.
