    The ftx rounds seem to self destruct pretty quickly on impact.
    With the goats and the 45/70 I have only had one exit and that was a neck shot. The last one had a big hole in the shoulder , smashed ribs and shoulder but the internals were only slightly shredded , by what seemed to be shrapnel , no actual wound channel I could see. The other side shoulder was untouched.
    Don't get me wrong , they are dead before they hit the ground but don't get the huge exit holes I was expecting.

    Right now, that sounds great.

    those are the full power 325gr rounds though , haven't tried the sub x yet on a live target yet .... those are 420 gr and may be less 'explosive' at the lower speeds .
