Interesting. Sure it was tsx not varmint ?
Iv shot a few now with ttsx in 30 cal and witnessed 3 in 6.5 and the big plus is lack of bruising . Just cut a 2 inch hole from one side to the other.

6.5 were gmx not ttsx sorry but essentially the same

A bit gory, but you can see the blood shock damage caused by the 55grn TTSX under the entry side shoulder (from the deer above).

Definitely TSX because loading up 50 more tonight for a weekend session on fallow. This will be his roar load as well.

Last night, late. 279 yards steep uphill. 69 grn Targex (.223)
The "whop" told me it was a connect, she didn't travel more than 10 yards.
