You are right, because a 53gr TSX out of my 22-250 would not have been found in the front shoulder, from my experience, it would have exited.

I have tried unsuccessfully to recover a 53gr TSX for many years. I did find a petal off of one once, after my son shot a deer through a vertebrae. Another running shot BTW.


Ingwe, Steelhead, Scenar, myself and a whole bunch of people use them with no problems.

Before the TTSXs came out I settled on the 53 TSX as well. Killed a score or more critters with them...and actually recovered one!!! I might be able to find a pic of it.

My wife shot this big mule deer and shot him well, but he decided to try and top out of a knife edged ridge that I didn't want him to get on the other side, so I tried an anchoring shot through the shoulders with the53 TSX out of my .22-250
It worked, broke both shoulders and I recovered it under the skin on the off side, weighing 53 grains...
