Ninja lions indeed are impressive.
We now know the Tasco is a proven lion(ess) killer.
I guess I should update this thread too with my field results of the 45 gr TSX
fired into a block of pine @ 70 yards, penetrated 6"
in comparison a 300WSM loaded with 125 gr Nosler BT @ 3500 fps penetrated 5"
and a 30 cal 150 gr @ 2000 fps penetrated 7"
took the rifle out for a mule deer antlerless tag draw
broadside 104 yards
Entrance :
Middles :
lung goo
top of the heart
more black lung

Tod,
Great pics and info. I tend to prefer larger calibers, but a guy can't really argue with a detailed post like that on game the size you're talking about. I really would not have foreseen that kind of organ damage!

Them barnes bullets really are impressive.
We gave the yote, whole, to a local trapper in the area. Didn't think to ask for the bullet, but we should have....
I thought Bartell might have enjoyed digging through coyote mush to find it.
It's not often you get to recover an X bullet from game.

Sorry if I missed it, but what velocity are shooting those 45gr tsx bullets at for the penetration in the pine and mule deer?

I know they work. TSX's are the only bullets I load for my big game hunting in several calibers from 243 Win up to 338 Win Mag. I don't own a 22 caliber firearm but have been looking at a Model 7615 Camo Hunter Rem Pump and thought these would make a nice load and wanted to know the velocity so I could run the numbers through my ballistics calculator.
very impressive Todd thanks alot for this thread finally the real answer to "22-250, 233 for deer?" threads we see on a daily basis.......
I vote to make this a sticky I think it would be great to have a thread full of shots like these so we can see how different bullets perform on game.

We use a Speer TNT or Seirra varminter in the 22 cal centerfires when we are pelt hunting, it goes in and doesn't come out, accurate, and half the cost of an Xbullet I would bet....
