Exactly!

As I mentioned previously, the 110 TTSX is likely a better all-around bullet for the 270 over the 85 tsx. But for normal hunting distances on deer sized game (especially in the east, as shortactionsmoker spoke of) the 85 works well, and when loaded down somewhat makes a really great low recoil killing bullet.

Between Dad and I we've shot enough stuff with the 85 tsx to get a decent idea on how it works.

The list includes a couple of antelope (including the doe Dad shot which you were present for), a half dozen mule deer and whitetail does, and a cow elk.

I also used the 110 tsx briefly. It seemed to work about like the 85!
