I've never recovered a TSX or TTSX in any caliber in a whitetail.


After reading numerous posts how TSX's penetrate like nothing else on the market and many claiming to never recover one inside a critter, I've seen five animals catch and hold 3 bullets. Two of them were .30 cal 180's. One from a .300 Weatherby (elk) and the other from a 300 Win (WT buck). This is just the second animal my son has killed with the TSX's and a shoulder shot on a 2.5 year-old 4x4 buck stopped the 85 grain TSX. I don't doubt TSX's penetrate well, as many people attest to it, but I've possibly seen the impossible where 3 outta 5 stopped and 2 were deer.

Not that it really matters though because all critters eneded up in the freezer. laugh
