There may be a good reason for that, but what is it? I can't understand yet what it is without further explanation.

While hunting for bear and others, I shot the huge moose in the attached three times in about five seconds with a 225gr TTSX in my .340 Wby (MV 3,160 per chrono; 3,050 fps at impact). Two zipped through the giant moose blowing large amounts of tissue and bone into jelly-like goo. The third attached recovered one did the same and was just under the far said pelt. I've shot hundreds of these tipped rounds in my .375 Wby; .340 Wby; .300 WM; 7mm Wby; .308 Win; .and 243 Win. Never has one failed. Is there any evidence that these ever can fail? They just are shot when fired and don't slow down as fast I think.

I also fail to see a problem with the TTSX, bullet. The larger hollow that is required for the post of the tip, increases the speed of expansion and improves the BC. A win, win any way you look at it, since the penetration is excellent to boot.
