I would usually agree with your bullet logic but I can tell you after watching 50 or so head of game get hit with the 100 gr tsx that it is like canned lightning at 3700 fps and have yet to recover a single one. Elk, deer(mule and whitetail), antelope and black bear. I also found seated deeper rather than farther out produced better groups for me. Seems they like some "jump"
