Tell me about yours, if you've had one, with details I�ve gone to the stouter bullets-tsx or ttsx- for my hunting today. It just makes sense with better penetration they should be superior. However, it hard for me believe those core-loks of the past that killed so many deer for me, family and friends failed. People it is deer most of us are talking about here. Since the original post is kind of general in its coverage question, I did have a .22lr fail on groundhogs a couple times. Hit one square in the neck at about 30yds from my trusty.....oh never mind  Battue

Not a failure, but definitely not a bullet I want coming even remotely close to any part of the animal I intend to eat...150gr BT 7mmRM, 230 yards. This is one of many exit wounds that I saw from this bullet/rifle combo. So much for the cape... BTW, this was a clients animal, I shoot TSX's  ![[Linked Image]](http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v123/144/4/626505240/n626505240_1277377_659.jpg) Hmmmmm... Did that "Bou" move out of his tracks? I think not. "So much for the cape..."???? JHFC.. what more do you want? Load a Barnes, I'm sure it will kill em deaderbedder with less "cape" damage. 
I like it here. They let me swear.

Only bullet failureI have ever had was with Hornady 154 gr 7mm. Blew up on entry on antelope and whitetails. Don't use Hornady any more at all but that is a longer story.

Not really a bullet failure but, I had a Young hunter visit My camp one day. Said that he had missed a deer running across a field. Said that the deer had outrun the bullet. He was shooting a 270. I've always thought this to be quite funny.

Definitely didn't go anywhere in too much of a hurry. Even though the cape was "slightly damaged"...it's amazing the work that some taxidermists can do. BTW, I shoot TSX/TTSX in all my hunting rifles.
