btw I'm not surprised with the 375-300gr TSX on elk...that's a cape buffalo style load.

Also the TSX has 99-100% weight retention? aren't they kinda designed to punch through? they expand, I forget down to what velocity...either way penetration is what they do right, not blow up inside an animal.
I have also seen a 120gr. TSX out of a 7mm Rem. Mag. do the same on a large mule deer. They do not have consistent expansion in my opinion. I will stick with the Nosler Partitions for large animals and Remington Core-Lokts for deer size animals, they have been arround for about ever and in my opinion cant be beat, for price or performance.
