Yes the original Grand Slams were deadly, much like a partition. They didn’t have great legs though, but who the heck is shooting all these critters past 300, that’s a He11 of a long shot on game. I like ringing steel as far as I can see it but for most mere mortals 300 in a hunting situation is a long poke, that’s another thread though.

I like my TTSX’s and I’ll add I took a couple bull elk and moose with 270 win and 140g TSX’s clocking a mere 2880. Softball size shoulder exit on the one elk and zero tracking on all of them. The original x’s sucked balls though
