[QUOTE="stx, post: 342038, member: 21006"] What to do? Stick with your TSXs, sounds like they're working just fine. I've been using TSXs for years and the TTSXs since they came out and have yet to lose an animal. I'm in the Hunting Business in South Texas and due to management practices, usually end up taking a considerable number of animals each year, along with the help of my guides, family and friends. I've rolled my own ammo since the mid '60s and used just about every "Latest, Greatest" bullet since that time.....and have never seen a bullet perform as well and consistent as the TSX and TTSXs at close or long range. I shoot light for caliber and push them as fast as possible without sacrificing accuracy......100 TSX in 25-06 @ 3224 fps; 120 TSX in 264 Win Mag @ 3310 fps; 120 TTSX in 280 Rem @ 3212 fps; 140 TSX in 280 Rem @ 3004 fps; 130 TTSX in 300 Wby @ 3585 fps; 150 TTSX in 300 Wby @ 3455 fps; 180 TSX in 300 Wby @ 3197 fps.
