You see this even in Mono bullets with some designed to open up faster than others. It is about picking the specific bullet for the application. So a 154 SST for a Deer specific but a 154 Spire Point Interbond or Partition if you want a very good bullet for Deer, Elk and Moose.

The TSX loads you have will work good on all three animals but they won't open up as violently on Deer as an SST or Ballistic Tip will.

Do you mean 154 Spire Point InterLOCK ?
Reason I ask is I‘ve just loaded up some initial test loads with that bullet for that purpose under the impression the interbond may have been too hard at 7mm-08 velocities (and long = lose powder capacity)
