Copper is relatively hard. Thicker copper jackets are one way to slow or control expansion. The TTSX has relatively thick copper surrounding the expansion cavity. They simply can't open as readily when the speeds get lower. They're very good bullets when they work well; speed helps them work.

I'd either go as light as possible for the best possible speeds, or I'd treat them as FMJs/solids and place them accordingly.


Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
