Remember the tmk isn't a hunting bullet, it's a heavy jacket target pill. It's unlikely to expand explosively like a varmint bullet and if the speed is high it's going to act more a heavy fmj than a hollow point. Going slower it is more likely to upset off bore line and create a bigger wound that way combined with a small amount of expansion...

Best advice, get a hunting bullet.
