I'm pretty sure your "excessive" wound channel is a result of the 3400 fps velocity. The OP will be shooting more like 2700-2800. BIG difference. With that being said, I think all copper bullets perform best when you run them above 3000, and the faster the better. I typically don't worry about a little meat loss. As for the original question, I've shot several does with 120 gr ttsx from a 7-08 with an estimated impact velocity of 2050-2100 fps and they seemed to perform fine. No recovered bullets to verify expansion, but the deer didn't make it more than 20 yds, so I'd say they were successful.
