The more meat you blow to hell the less you have to pack out.

A TTSX doesn't have to blow up to mess up a bunch of meat.

Here's a hog hit with the 26 Nosler, 120 E-Tip (essentially a TTSX clone) at 150 yds, MV 3,450 fps.

Of course, I never recovered the bullet, but doubt it fragmented. I think what you see here is raw kinetic energy unleashed on flesh.

works for me..


A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Worked pretty well on this hog, boom/flop.

Balancing velocity and bullet weight/type with terminal performance on various critters is a Loony exercise of the first order... grin

Overthinking, of course... blush
