Great Shot ! That TSX appears to have connected at about minimum reccomended velocity (1800fps,or a bit less) for that bullet. The fact it opened at all , having met with little resistance is amazing. Did you happen to recover it? Just wondering two things,.. the final bullet diameter and why you chose to take that shot knowing what you know about about those bullets. Not dissing, just genuinely interested.
