[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2631607, member: 109862"] Thanks for taking the time to section, measure, and photograph these for our viewing, really appreciate it. Yeah the tgk/gamechanger is a bit of an odd duck to my mind. It’s not bonded or partitioned or mono metal and yet by all accounts it’s crazy tough…but there’s still no way to guarantee no jacket separation on a shoulder hit. It’s like it doesn’t know what it wants haha. I would feel very nervous shoulder shooting an elk with one, it’s still just a cup and core, and equally unwanting to double lung a deer broadside: it’s too stout for that to be super fast killing to my mind. Lightweight monos like hammers or Barnes, heavyweight frangibles like the eld m, and midweight bonded bullets, especially the trophy bonded tip and woodleigh weldcore, get the nod from me, along with old school exposed lead softpoints like the Winchester super x and hornady interlocks I grew up on haha That being said I’ve got a box of 6mm 90 grainers i still have yet to try on paper. I just love my .300 Winnie and .358 Norma so much that the old .243 and .270 never see the light of day anymore. Might sell the 270…it deserves to be loved better than what it gets from the likes of me 🤣 [/QUOTE]
