I would go with what John B recommends that in .30 caliber and under use TTSX over .30 doesn't seem to matter.

One thing is most PH's recommend on the shoulder shots and this is where the Barnes doe's its best work. This is where a tougher bullets shines regardless of the myth or fact of which game is tougher.

The Barnes may not kill as quickly as some but I would rather have the dependability and confidence vs. dramatic drops but erratic performance of the more frangible bullets.
