I'm still trying to figure this out. Last fall bear season over bait. I shot at 40-50 yards with Federal ammo with 225 triple shocks. The bear skidded forward hitting the ground then got up and ran off. It was a quartering away shot and I aimed for the opposite leg. I got down and no blood, searched with help and blood tracking dogs and nothing. I've heard nothing but good about the TSX's. Two years earlier with the same rifle and Rem 225 core lokts it blasted the opposite shoulder so bad it looked like a gut shot on the ground. There was pieces of bone all over.
All I can guess is that the bullet went through with no expansion???? does that sound right? The bear did skid forward and hit the deck.
