I have recovered a number of X, TSX, TTSX's over the years and four have lost some or all of their petals. A 185 gr TSX via 338-06 launched at 2900 fps on a bull elk at 300 yards lost all, a 225 gr TSX via 35 Whelen launched at 2700 fps on a bull moose lost all, a 250 gr X via 9.3x62 launched at 2650 fps on an bull eland lost two petals and, most recently, a 350 gr TSX via 416 Remington launched at 2600 fps on a cape buffalo lost all petals. Every bullet hit significant shoulder(s).
