More recovered TSX's

[Pathfinder76]

It seems that we always expect them to whistle through. Ironically, it's when we do recover them that I'm glad we used them.

[Bergerboy]

What animal did you recover them from? How far, cartridge, etc...?

[Pathfinder76]

Foreground is a 140 TSX from a 280 Remington. It was recovered from a WT shot steeply quartering away at 200 yds. Broke his rear leg just below the hip and was recovered outside the rib cage on the far side. Background is a 225 TSX from a 338 Win Mag. Shot through on shoulder of a Bull Moose at 260 yds. Right through the heart and then recovered mid way through the hide on the far side.

That there is a beautiful thing!
I have not been able to recover any TSXs myself but have been using them with great results.
Long range, short range, they just work.
Thanks for posting

I think I've pulled six of them out of various animals this year.

Perfect!!!

I have recovered a 140 TTSX and a 160 TSX from white tail

The 160TSX was from a 7mm Rem Mag at 376 yards quartering towards. The bullet expanded to the first band. Lost .8 gr from bullet weight


The 140TTSX was from 7mm-08 at 180 yards quartering towards. Bullet expanded to 2nd band. Lost 2 gr from bullet weight.

Both bullets were found in rear quarter in the hide. I love finding bullets.

Well my picture isn't nearly as thought out as Chuck's.
This is a 168grain TTSX. It was fired from a 300 WM. Shot distance was about 70-75 yards and was a very steep quartering away angle.
It smashed into the second last rib, broke the offside shoulder and hooked up on the hide. It was a very large cow moose so I figure it went thru close to 4 feet of moose "stuff" before coming to rest.

I couldn't find any of the 3 ttsx bullets I used on my moose this year, and they weren't pass throughs, I guess I wasn't looking hard enough.

Here is a pic of my TTSX from a moose this fall, The shot was around 100 yards. Recovered from ribs on the opposite side. This is the first TTSX I have ever recovered from a moose. Deer are always pass throughs. It was a 168 grain TTSX from a 30-06, hand loaded. Moose only traveled about 10 feet.

I've been shooting them for about six or seven years but only recovered one. This was a 180 grain at a muzzle velocity of 2850. Shot was about 15-20 yards on a deer heading away from me. I hit him roughly above the diaphragm, bullet went in and continued straight up through the spine about 24" until the curve of the neck then went through the throat and I found the bullet under the hide by his windpipe. That scale was zeroed before I put the bullet on it.

I have several recovered triple shocks!!!

There is that center rib that piques my interest.

I think is just the tear from the center void

Its the tsx central miracle. Let inspiration make you a believer, whatever you see

2 - 225 grain TSX
1 - 140 grain TSX

[MartyT]

Both from same whitetail buck. Top one is 326yds entry just infront of shoulder high enough that it clipped one lung but the damage to spine dropped him right there. Bullet came to rest in hide on opposite side. Bottom is shot through back of neck on same buck at 3ft, again came to rest in hide opposite side.

308win 130gr tsx

[Peebles]

Recovered this from a cow moose at 18m. It broke her far side shoulder after going through the lungs and I pulled it out during butchery. 150 grain TTSX from my .308 over 46.3 grains of Varget. It's my first year shooting copper bullets - I think I'll keep it up.

[Coiloil37]

I've only ever found one, a 180 tsx from my '06. I shot a deer going away from me and up a small hill at about 25 yards. The shot took him a bit behind the front legs and the bullet penetrated from the poi straight up the spine until coming out of the spine at his neck and I found the bullet under the skin on his throat. Impact velocity would of been roughly 2800 fps and it penetrated about 2.5-3' of spine before stopping.











Compared to some 165 accubonds from the same rifle, muzzle velocity a hair over 3k and these were 250-400 yard shots, all bullets found under the skin on the off side and typically weigh 115-120 grains after recovery.

Love those Accubonds!
Wish they were more available...

They're a lot more available now then they were a few years ago. Online they're easy to find.

I choose the accubond when I don't need as much penetration and I'm happy taking good shot angles. I find they give me a larger wound channel at the expense of penetration, I don't trust them to break heavy bone in most weights/calibers and I almost never get a exit wound so I don't get as good of blood trail (if required).

I choose Barnes when I want max penetration, an exit wound and want to be able to shoot for vitals at any angle. I've found the wound channel slightly smaller but it's always all the way through the animal and if I hit the shoulder it's been bang flop every time. I prefer a quartering to shot, bullet on the leg to initiate expansion and a cross lung wound channel. Not that those are the only shot I'll take but they've been some very dramatic kills for me.

I have reloaded them for my 270 win and 7 mm mag and I got to say I love them and love how they stay together and go either through the animal or if they do get stuck I them at least they stay together and not take out a bunch of other things in the process.
I had one in the loin of one of my deer this year and it dropped him right on the spot. A frontal shot. Disintegrated the heart and ended up in the loins around the middle of the back.!
I also like how I can get 1/2 inch groupings with them on both of my rifles.
Good bullets and accurate in both of my rifles! What more could I ask for
