[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 1998351, member: 12170"] Excels may be a strong word...let's look at the available (limited) data to come up with a determination. The 70 grn TSX loading will penetrate 20.55" of bare gel with 100% weight retention, 0" neck length and a recovered diameter of .432" The 110 TTSX loading will penetrate 20.5" of bare gel. (Negligible difference), 0" neck length and a recovered diameter of .585" (.153 greater than the 70 grn, though not near enough to definitively declare a winner) Their performance in this scenario is almost identical. The velocity difference is irrelevant. To prove whether or not it "excels" as you suggested, we would have to look at the temporary cavity length and diameter. This is data I do not have. So at this time, I cannot prove it excels at hunting compared to a 70 grn 5.56 loading. However, it certainly does not give anything up either and generally speaking, 30 caliber bullets will have a larger temporary cavity length and diameter.
