I handloaded some 130 grain tsx for my 30-06 this year. Always wanted to try these bullets. Used partitions previously but just wanted to experiment. I found them very accurate (0.8" @ 100yrds). I shot 2 deer with them. One was 100 yards and the other 380 yards. Both shots went through both lungs. Both deer ran about 100 yards and then fell over dead. I was surprised how much bloodshot meat I had to cut away when processing. There was a little less wasted meat than when I used the partitions though. I found it odd that the bullets hit about 4-5 inches behind the shoulder yet there was still bloodshot meat in the shoulder muscles. I am happy with the bullets however....will use them again especially since they are so accurate.
