I also have tended to use more monolithic, non-lead bullets over the past dozen years or so. These have not just been TTSXs but Cutting Edge Raptors, Hornady GMXs and Nosler E-Tips. Plastic tips pretty much guarantee expansion, something that didn't always happen with TSXs, and aside from the lack of lead fragments, the monos ruin less meat than cup-and-cores, or even bonded lead-core bullets. Maybe 2-3 years ago I was writing an article about lead-free bullets and, after looking at my hunting notes, discovered that Eileen and I had taken 70% of our big game animals in the previous 3 years with monolithics.
