    Wrong thread, wrong discussion, and something we have debated before, fact is an animal that drops on the spot have f-all to do with a drop in blood pressure or oxygen starvation, most of you old hands are experienced enough to know that, no way no how that is what is bringing down the animal.

    I will call it a term never used before, it's a non direct applied CNS hit.

    Bullet punched through top of heart and punctured both lungs. Bull ran 50m.

    The bull's heart was completely "deflated" and relaxed. Usually the heart is stiff or hard.

    Again, that expansion just looks random, random is the whole reason people invented premium bullets, to act the same way every time.
    So still not impressed :)

    Take a match bullet, some types comes apart when hitting an animal and if that is in the boiler room it can result in spectacular kills. Sometimes they don’t expand, at all, behave like a full metal jacket, hence their performance is random.
    Cup and core, sometimes they mushroom beautifully and sometimes they shed their core and pieces are found everywhere, their performance is random.

    Now premium bullets are designed to perform the same every time.
    A nosler partition have a soft front core designed to come apart but the base always penetrates deeply.
    An Aframe is bonded back AND front partition so it is designed to expand but hold on to its lead regardless.
    A Barnes TTSX is designed to create four petals and retains almost all it’s weight, I have posted pics of this.

    Now the GMX I mentioned does not do this, it’s not designed in any specific way, one time it does this and another time it does that. I think that is the 3rd bullet T-stone posed from that calibre, go look at them, totally random, one time it does this and another something else, all with about 80% weight retention but for different structural reasons, meaning.......random.

    Bone fragments or something probably.
    Other than that, the TTSX dit exactly what it was designed to do, through both shoulders animal DRT.
    I doubt you'll find a better general hunting bullet for that rifle than this.
