RE: Softer monos.

Has anyone experimented with annealing the TSX? Not sure if you could do it with the TTSX with out melting the tips. Might be possible to remove and then re-place the tips.

Ross Seiegfried experimented with cutting a groove in the ogive near the bottom of the hollow point cavity, I never saw the follow up on this experiment. I put a cannelure at about the base of the hollow and it would get some to shed petals. I didn't shoot enough game to reach any conclusion with these modified X bullets. But they did kill game.

Probably better to just buy bullets designed this way to reduce the variables.

Hawk1 & MD thanks for putting up with a contentious bunch and still providing so much useful information.
