Raven - Obviously you're a fan of the bullet, what has performance generally been like? Many exits on elk?

Don't get skunked much. That's a pile of critters the last 13 years. Of all those,what was the "Best" and "Worst" experience with that bullet?

here's a bull I shot 6 weeks ago using a 280 AI and 150 NBT. shot was at 80 yards, MV was 3050 and I was using RL22. pretty much the same as a 7RM. broadside shot, at the shot he took two steps and just stood there, so I punched him again and he fell over. both shots were within an inch of each other right through the boiler room. I punched his off shoulder on the second shot. both bullets went through and I wouldn't hesitate to use this bullet on anything I hunt. Pretty sweet. Nice bull.

The 150 BT shoots the best out of my rifle and to me is the best deer bullet going. After killing a few elk including 3 decent sized bulls I had one blow up on the ribs of a good bull, the entry wound was palm sized after hitting 2 ribs on a slightly angled shot. The shrapnel in his lungs killed him but not before he made it 600 yards.
I've switched to the tipped TSX and now get the accuracy and good aerodynamic shape along with the bone breaking performance of the solid copper bullet. I used to think the explosive bullet stories were BS - after it happened to me I know better and love the TTSX for elk and shot a DRT deer with it this tear as well.
