Well no, not the TSX, but have used the 90g Sierra HP which does 3600fps pretty easily.
No doubt the TSX would penetrate better but I think a lot of people would be surprised how effective the 90g HP is on medium game including pigs of decent size. So if they shoot hunting accurate, the TSX would in my opinion be a fine medium game round including good sized deer.
Bob,
Americans seem to look at hunting bullets different than folks in other parts of the world...
however I tend to be in the camp of opinion that you find more Aussies in than Americans.... think it has to do with common sense and practicality...
not to disrespect my fellow countrymen, but I have seen a lot of success with the 90 grain HP Sierra and the 90 grain TNT Speer on deer...
over the last 10 years I have taken a lot of boys out for their first deer hunt or have loaded ammo for them to use, where full factory spec loads will kick the snot out of them and make them afraid of the rifle's recoil...
a good candidate to 'break them in' is the old 270 and using Sierra and Speer 90 grain HPs.... granted for the boys, I have not ratcheted them up to full velocity potential.. but 30 grains of 4198 and a 90 grain HP, have done a quick smack down on multiple deer by these boys, being their first deer...
have no doubt that winding up the velocity a little more should have no real adverse affect on lethality of these bullets... we all know it starts out with shot placement...
in the 260, have personally dropped deer with the 85 grain Sierra HP.. and admit a 270/08 with 90 to 110 grain bullets would be a fun and capable cartridge... especially with the bullets hitting the streets for the 6.8 SPC....
but even with new cartridges hitting the boulevard, few folks stateside seem to think the older bullets that have been around for eons will work well...
those 90 grain HPs by Speer and Sierra are often overlooked as a decent deer bullet....this 95 grain TTSX out to be a big step up tho in capability for bigger stuff than deer, or be a long range hammer for deer...
the 3700 to 3750 fps MV figures I got were off of Barnes web site...for those inquiring minds...
