They're a great choice for smaller game too. Even from a short-barreled Creedmoor. And they look purty when dug out of the ground after going through a chest.

I've thought about using them on Coues deer, just not sure they would open up quickly enough. That expansion looks pretty good!

One of the most common misconceptions about big game bullets is that some open quicker than others. Instead, extensive testing both in media and on game has proven that almost all open completely by the time they penetrate their own length--which is almost never more than 2". (The exception is "target" bullets like the Berger VLD, which usually delay expansion for a couple inches before starting to open.)

Believe me, TSXs or LRXs start to expand when they hit skin....
