One more vote for the TX. I've used Barnes X exclusively on large northern deer for years. Eighteen consecutive one shot kills, using 5 rifle and a handgun caliber, with no losses and none traveling over 50 yards of hit, says it all. From work-up I found the new TS not only more accurate but less fauling. Judging from my last kill, it retains the same terminal performance of the X.
I practice with Sierra and Hornady but hunt only the very best: Barnes X, and now the TS.
Break both shoulders? A 130 gr X traverse the LENGTH of a big buck - front to rear - using a 7/08! (Needless to say he didn't leave his last tracks).
A 150 gr X I loaded for a friend's 7mm SAUM passed through BOTH shoulders of a big bull ELK at a measured 265 yards last year. Big explosive holes, may result in kills - IF the bullet lands in the right spot - they definitely do not contribute to the edibility of the game harvested.
