    Thanks for sharing. That round seems to never disappoint.

    A is TMK? Looks like B made a smaller but more consistent wound channel. TSX flavored monolithic are great for penetration, I've never had an issue. But that TMK is just special in the tissue damage department.

    Interesting. Did the LRX give an exit wound?

    Same here, really enjoying the 5.56 as a deer cartridge now however!

    I've never had a TMK exit a deer, however I've never had a deer get up from a TMK either. The TSX went right through, not much of a blood trail at all, took me a minute to find the guy in this super tall grass. As others have said in this thread some animals have more of a will to survive...

    Switched from TMK to a 70gr TSX for this one. 50 yard shot, clean double lung broad side entry and exit. He dropped, got up and ran 25 yards and dropped dead. Big, strong buck. Very happy with the performance. Will switch back to TMK this afternoon for my doe.

    Took a doe with a Black Hills 77gr TMK at 100 yards out of a 12.5 bbl. Dropped her right there, quick kill. No exit wound which seemed odd, a lot of the pics and stories on here have soft ball size exit wounds. Anyone else have no exit?
