[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 171147, member: 3373"] I love the TTSX as well but do you find them a little slow expanding for lighter skinned animals like deer. That is one reason I would like to try the 110g on deer if I can ever get a tag. The 130g performed perfectly one a bull elk. entered one shoulder, came to rest next to skin in the far shoulder. Bled out and dead in less than 30 yds. Have wondered if on deer, it would exit before complete expansion. Also agree with another who doesn't think the .270 is a long range gun. Agree with that when talking 8-1000 yds and quite possibly less but am very comfortable out to 5-600 on deer, less on elk size game as you do loose quite a bit of energy past the 4-500 mark. And energy is a big determining factor in penetration. Even the best bullet won't penetrate without energy to drive it. That and accuracy, where you hit an animal, as we all know, determines how long a tracking job we will have. [/QUOTE]
