Wow! I have never seen a TTSX do anything like that. Did it hit something before hitting the deer? I had a GMX from a 7mag hit a twig last year, then strike the deer in the neck and come out on the shoulder. The entry was way larger than I expected and theoff shoulder was a mess.

I have some 130 grain TTSXs and am getting ready to work up a do it all load for my Dad. I haven't shot any out of a .270, but have had such good performance in other cartridges, we are going to give them a try.
