Well the TSX version is the shizzle. I've yet to have a deer go more than a few steps, most have dropped right there and I've not recovered a bullet.

I bought a couple boxes of 55's, thinking the added velocity might make for quicker kills, but hard to say if it would really make much difference.

Haven't shot a deer with one yet, but they drop hogs like lightning bolts.

Just last weekend I shot a pig with the 62 grain TTSX. I can say the projectile "bounced" off once the target was struck but it did "drop the hog like lightning". Those steel pig silhouette targets are tough.
