I never had a need to crimp but several experienced hunters do and usually there is not a down side to it. I would be tempted to use the Woodleigh or A Frame as a first shot and the TSX for the rest of the magazine. This assuming they shot the same. The 235 gr. TSX is a good deer bullet usually without a lot of meat damage. I have been using the Speer 235 lately and it has worked well too. Both 235s were loaded to around 2800 fps with R15. The 250 is not needed for deer but is a great all around choice for any thin skinned game. The 270s are a do everything load and can be slightly flatter than the heavier slugs. Some hunters never use anything other than 300 gr. bullets for everything. I have not tried the 350s.
