TTSX bullet recovered from elk

My daughter's elk managed to stop one of the 7mm 120 grain TTSX bullets in the far shoulder. I just had to slice the hide a little where the bulge was to expose the bullet.

Weighed it last night- 119.6 grains. I then weighed a bullet straight out of the box- 119.9 grains. Gee, I bet the plastic tip weighs about 0.3 grains.   

That's why I chose the Barnes TTSX for my daughter's elk hunt. I needed a light bullet to keep recoil as mild as possible, so I wanted a bullet that wouldn't disintegrate if she hit a shoulder.

My favorite bullet with excellent experiences.

Then for some strange reason when I picked up a 300 win mag this year for elk season I was talked into working it up for the 200 gr. Hornady Precision Hunter ELD-X.  I will still use the ttsx on the other 2 hunting rifles and if the ELD-X does not meet expectations I will switch it over to the Barnes ttsx like the other two.

This is perfect performance.  Thanks for sharing, bobcat.

So, impact vel was probably 2,200 to 2,300 fps. 

Pretty good results.
