Groundhog was 125ish. 26.2 of Varget. Pretty darn close...

I wasn't disputing you in any way. I think others misinterpreted you post. I was actually agreeing with you.

I'm gonna shot a deer with the bullet within the next week and see what happens!

The first pic is a groundhog killed with the 64 BSB. The second pic is the exit hole. Far from an exploding bullet IMO.

I expect the damage upon entrance was due to frontal diameter. The bullet is fairly blunt.

Here is a pic of the bullet sectioned. I did this as soon as I grabbed some to see what they looked like inside. I doubt they'll blow up easily.

Nice. What type of groups you getting with those in your Kimber? A new Kimber Montana 223 is going to be my xmas present to myself. grin

Nothing explosive-looking about that one as far as I can see. Looks like it held together as designed and mushroomed perfectly. Can't wait to try one of them on a doe myself.


Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

Nope, it sure didn't 'grenade'�.but damage was all out of proportion to bullet hole crazy

That said Ive noticed a recurrent phenomenon with TSXs��.Placed precisely through the ribs, well forward of the diaphragm, they pop the diaphragm more often than not, and when I start dressing the animal south to north I see all kinds of blood in the gut cavity and usually say 'WTF?"

My sample of one with this bullet implies something similar�.

Someday when my .22 grows up I hope it can shoot the Nosler 64.
