[QUOTE="Buzzgun, post: 3064027, member: 4715"] Long range or short range doesn't matter, in fact, monometal bullets are less likely to expand a longer range due to lower velocity......the truth is, monometal bullets are unnecessary for deer sized game in "normal" deer calibers. There isn't a deer walking that won't die just as quickly from a cup and core bullet through the lungs as one with a TTSX through the lungs, period. I've killed over 100 deer with everything from a 22-250 pushing a 50 grain bullet to a 300 win mag to 50 caliber muzzleloaders and a bunch of different handguns. I've killed them from as close as 10 yards to as far as 588 yards. Not once have I ever needed a monometal bullet to kill a deer.......it's only been within the last 10 years or so that bullet makers have educated us to the "fact" that deer have become immune to common cup and core bullets!! Oh, I know, "ammunition is the cheapest part of the hunt, so you should always use the latest and greatest blah, blah, blah"...... [/QUOTE]
