Very good luck here. I'm shooting the 130 gr TTSX 308. They retain about 95% of their original weight, losing only the poly tip. They mushroom great . and cause a lot of trauma. They make a mess internally and almost always pass through. Only one I ever recovered was in a buck that field dresses 204 , I shot hard quartering away . The bullet angled through from the left side hip to the right shoulder , stopping just under the hide. His vitals looked like a little bomb went off. Knowing a little about classes and properties of copper , a solid copper bullet makes perfect sense to me.

Its basically a loaded ttsx... great bullets at high velocities. If your way out there shooting a slower round I'd be a little hesitant. I've loaded some 100 grainers for my 6.5 - 06

Good ammo I load the TTSX and it performs extremely well
Keep your booger hooker off the bang switch.

120 in the 7-08 and 130 in 308 and 06.
Shoulder shots are like they were hit by a bus. Bang flop. Ive only recovered 2 bullets. I like exit holes.

Use in my 243. Does a great job. Most drop in their tracks. I’ve been wanting to find some 80 or 85gr TSX/TTSX to load in 6mm Rem. Heard too many folks talk about how good they are in 243 Win.
