[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 2519178, member: 53978"] It is good to have options with monolithic bullets because rifles seem more sensitive to them. Lead core bullets are able to squish and seal a barrel more easily than all-copper. consequently, the exact diameter of a bore may fit one all-copper bullet better than another. Having both TTSX and CX bullets available in tipped versions is a definite plus. Another bullet to add to the mix are the Hammers. Their multiple sinusoidal grooves have lower engraving pressure and may be a little more forgiving to barrel differences. The CX appears to copy a part of the Hammer smooth-edged groove design, but they only have two grooves and a lot of shank. The Hammers also function differently at terminus. The nose blows into little copper pieces and the remaining blunt-nose core penetrates very well along with good damage caused by the minutely expanded blunt face, plus whatever the nose pieces contribute. Of course, I would hunt with all of them, depending on what the rifle shot more accurately. [/QUOTE]
