, I shot a 54" moose (140yds, downhill) three times with a .300 Win and the 168gr T-TSX. The moose wasn't phased after the first shot, behind the shoulder. It just stood there! The second shot was right on the shoulder, below the spine, and the moose dropped but it quickly got up again. A third shot on the shoulder put it down a second time. When I approached the moose, after about 10 minutes, it got on its feet AGAIN, and I had to hit it again. I could not believe how much damage this moose took, and still kept getting back up! After this experience, I started to question whether the .300 Win Mag was enough for moose.
I had that problem with TTSX too. 4x4 Bull Elk took (4) 168gr TTSX to the boiler room. 180 yards .308, so same bullet as you. My 7mm08 does a better job.
