Below is the first big game animal I took with a Barnes 168 tsx out of a 300 wsm back in 2004. One shot quartering away bullet under a pocket of skin on opposite shoulder. Bullet weight was 167 grains after recovery, heck might of been that before but one way or the other it's pretty good retention.

I have used nothing but tsx, ttsx, and lrx since then all with the same boring outstanding results. Different game, different cartridges, different distances, different conditions it all ends the same for me.

I even included a pic of a 225 grain ttsx out of a 338 win mag from a bear a few years ago.

I'm not worried about any failures.
