The hollow point on these bullets is so shallow that, at full expansion, the frontal area is not very large. The bullet above is expanded to the bottom of the hollow and can't expand any further.


Is the 7mm 140 TSX substantially different structurally compared to the 120 TSX 7mm? This is a 120gr from my 7-08 I recovered from a whitetail I shot fore to aft at 140 yards. Muzzle velocity was 2980 fps. I was pretty happy with the expansion (the deer was less pleased grin )

This is one from a pig with the same rifle. IIRC the shot was about 50 yards.
