I have a couple boxes of .284 in 150 grain TTSX that I’ve been holding off on after reading reports on here that they don’t open up and you need to shoulder shoot deer with them. I guess that’s still the case if you guys aren’t recovering very many?
In my experience they open fine, but they are designed to put two holes in an animal. Exit holes have always been appropriate sized in anything I have shot and it is nice knowing you can put one through a shoulder or any other part of an animal with no worries. If you are looking for a bullet to stop inside a chest cavity on a broadside shot, they probably aren’t for you. Just depends on what you are looking for In a bullet.
