[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 973218, member: 28741"] Actually I think they changed the ogive to give more reliable robust expansion. I have read about experiences by some wherein the previous design (secant - longer and narrower) folded over rather than expanded in line with the body of the bullet. I think they should have changed the part number or something. The newer "stubbier" ones look unlikely to do that. Barnes did say they would sell me the previous design directly if I so desired before my hunt but I opted to move on. Anyhow, I have no complaints about their (the new ones) performance on 2 wild pigs (one through the shoulder bone angling down through the neck exiting below the far shoulder pulverizing all bone & tissue around the wound in between). Deer are much thinner skinned animals so I thought TTSX might even work better on them. [/QUOTE]
