The entrance wound to the very first 140-grain .270 caliber TSX my wife fired into game (the very first year TSX’s appeared) was much bigger than the one that started this thread--and the animal was coyote at about 200 yards. Two days later Eileen shot a spike elk with the same load, at just about the same range, and the entrance wound was tiny.

Samples of one never prove anything, except that something happened once.
