[QUOTE="TXAoudadKlr, post: 1477784, member: 67390"] For me, I’ve noticed with my 300AX and it 5,100ft lbs is not all that impressive on deer until ~400 yards and on. Crazy right considering it driving a 200gr accubond 3400fps? On bigger animal like aoudad 250-350lbs it’s quite impressive. Flattens them on spot. Guess the extra mass, muscle and bone density play apart in transferring a greater amount of energy for more dramatic kills. I’ve beeb looking at some of the various monos like the cutting edge Maximus and a few of the hammers for it in hopes of the shedding petal/blades helping it out on softer game. I also shoot a 458 socom. It nothing special with 300gr TTSX’s is does a casual 1800fps. My first deer with it acted like it hadn’t been hit up until he fell over despite his liver being in half. I’ve recovered bullets from aoudad with it that all retained 100% of their weight minus that tip and in that .840-.930” range expanded. Given the low velocity you don’t get a lot of that hydrostatic shock. I did notice when I switched to the CEB 260gr Maximus loaded to ~1950fps it was far more authoritative in comparison to the TTSX. The TTSX wounds looked like a drill bit passed through. Where the CEB effects a much larger area and sometimes leaves multiple exits. Cool thing is it’s soft enough to act like a TSX at longer ranges for that cartridge. [/QUOTE]
