[QUOTE="wapitiaddict, post: 3061013, member: 107569"] I stopped using TTSX because I had pencil throughs on a cow elk and then a muley buck. They were 120gr TTSX out of a 270 win. The cow elk was shot at about 250-275 yards. The deer was about 225 yards. The cow elk would have gotten away had I not shot it 3 times. Two of the bullets had penciled. The buck only took one shot and didn't go far, and I guess the bullet resulted in a dead deer. But upon inspection of the wound channel I just didn't like what I saw and it looked like the bullet pretty much penciled through. The exit wound was basically the same size as entrance. After that I decided to switch to bonded bullets and other lead cores and haven't regretted it. I regularly get pass throughs on bull elk and have excellent wound channels and large exit wounds. And bulls pile up quickly. I know a lot of people swear by monos or solid coppers, but I wasn't impressed. Maybe I didn't give them enough of a chance, but I didn't like what i was experiencing and didn't want to chance it on another animal. YMMV [/QUOTE]
