I'm still up in the air about the TC mags. I started a post sometime back, asking what was the differance between the TC Mags XTP300gr and the Hornady XTP 300 gr bullets. From what I understand the Hornady's will expand easier because of only the one "band " around the bullet. The TC Mags have two, which would keep the bullet from expanding so fast.I guess that is one reason I got complete pass through on both deer with the TC bullets. I was always told that you want all the energy from the shot to stay in the animal. Thats where the bullet mushroom affect comes into play.
I'm not complaining at all about the TC Mags, I recovered both deer very very easily. I just saying that if I wanted no pass through and better expanding bullet , should I go to the Hornady XTP's? One thing I was surprised at, was that the buck I shot at 60 yards was a complete pass through and he dropped in his tracks. In my pass experiences, apass through meant the deer was going to run a short distance then pile up.
Well, tomorrow is the muzzleloader opener here in Indiana. We have a one buck limit here. So, I'm going out and see if I can get another doewith the Omegain the morning., We have some snow on the ground and should be a blast. We dont eat beef in our household. Nothing but deer for 18 years now.
