When you are use to having lung tissue strain through your fingers field dressing a deer and what you find instead is a quarter size hole through both lungs, that should tell you that a 140 grain TSX from a 7mm-08 isn’t your best choice. Slow learner that I am, I would have another ten point buck mount on the wall if I’d have used a faster opening bullet. My only ever deer that got away after leaving only 5 drops of blood.
There's plenty of "respected" folks on these boards that say you need at least 10 examples before coming to any conclusion, so you need to potentially loose 8 more before you're allowed to have that opinion.
I can't say I have seen that happen, but TSX/TTSXs do make lung shot critters die slower on average IME. Not a big fan of them, I am.
