Ronin Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 No problem, ive never had an animal walk more than a few steps when hit with a TSX and they do minimal damage no matter how close they are when the trigger is pulled. Accuracy is on a par with match bullets, the BC isnt amazing, but so what. My data... 52g H 4831SC seated .050" off the lands, accuracy in low .3's and 2900 ish fps Works on Roe, Fallow and Reds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
