I use TTSXs almost exclusively so I know what they can do. As I alluded to in my OP, the hog was NOT broadside, but head on and below me. bullet went through the spine, traversed all the major organs and would up just under the skin of the offside ham, so that's about 3 1/2 feet of hog and bone. That is a lot of penetration even with about a 30% weight loss. A have quite a few of these and I'll continue to use for this hog application. For "serious" game my "go to" is the 168 TTSX.


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…”
