I have used the TTSX, and LRX exclusively for the last few years. The only reason I use them is because I dont want to deal with lead fragments contaminating my meat supply and being fed to my youngs kids. With that said I have noticed in many cases you don't get much of a blood trail, of any at all. The entrance and exit wounds are tough to even see with out looking. This kinda makes the exit hole thing moot. The other thing I have noticed is that they simply dont shred internal organs like a Nosler BT or Hornady IL does. Likewise reaction to the shot isnt as pronounced or non existent. FWIW this applies to 175 LRX and 180 TTSX in the 300 RUM and WSM and the 100 TTSX in the 25-06AI.
As we’ve discussed before, I don’t doubt your experience, but I have had the opposite experience observing kills with the TTSX/LRX and NBT/HIL bullets. Funny how two pools of experience with fairly significant numbers can lead to such opposite conclusions.
