Whats grain bullets everyone shooting out of their 7mm Rem Mags.

Sounds legit to me, except the close range part. Non expansion has been shown many times not only with the TSX but ALL the bullets relying on material entering a tiny hole and then hydraulic force to open it. The smaller the hole and tougher the jacket the more unreliable expansion becomes.

As long as the speed is there and the bullet doesn't tumble.....expansion is very reliable with modern mono metals. Start dropping below impact velocities of 2,000fps, then you may experience expansion problems. Penciling through with mono metals is for the most part a figment of the imagination.
 
Im sorry but I am not talking about "mono's" in general. I am talking about tiny hollow point bullets that are tough to open due to thick jackets (quite often laced with compression folds) or copper that needs to be torn.

You can spend all day looking at pictures and reading story's of tiny hollow point bullets that did not open up. Then you could spend next week duplicating the results if you wanted. I did and so can you.

Says you. I KNOW better.
 
I found the 139 gmx monometal to be quite effective. I send them at right around 3150. Recovered bullet perfectly expanded. They are almost half price compared to ttsx too, great value.
