Quoted:
Black Hills is producing a 62gr TSX Load in their red box for 1:9 twists and SSA is loading a 70gr TSX for the 1:8-7 twist. Federal makes a law enforcement load in the 55gr TSX that is much cheaper than their Premium round.
It was mentioned that the Fusion is the same concept and I will have to dispute that. The fusion is a fused cup and core lead bullet that relies on crush where as the TSX is a copper monolithic and relies on cutting by the petaled design. Both are good bullets but it is apples to oranges.

OK, my bad, is a different concept, looks like they are trying to achieve similar end results?
I don't claim to know too much about them.
ETxH, you are quite welcome, glad to add any helpful info.
Sierra always said they didn't recommend their HPBT Match bullets for hunting purposes....I'm thinking maybe they got tired of people complaining about all those fragmented little bits getting stuck between their teeth during dinner.
But for straight up killin stuff, they are like little fragment grenades.
I didn't know if they'd penetrate enough on a big thick-skinned hog?
Looks like ETxH proved that wrong! Shot placement is key, I guess.
Sidenote: The little 52 gr. BTHP Sierra Match bullet will turn a groundhog into a bag of jelly.
I'll take a quick moment to say I've never shot a hog, but I enjoy the heck out of seeing you Hog hunters take them down!
Always checking the nice tactical rigs and for the latest kills, go get em!
Keep up the good work!
