While I had inconsistent results with the Barnes 'X' type bullets, the TTSX (and its MRX predecessor) have performed very well for everyone in my hunting group that uses them. That includes a 100g/.257Bob, 140g/7mmRM, 130g/.308, 168g/30-06 and 180g/.300WM combinations. We have yet to recover one.

After giving it a lot of thought, we selected a 130g TTSX for Daughter #1 to use in her .308 Win. She didn't get her elk this year but she did take her antelope at 360+ yards where it was still packing a calculated 2165fps and 1356fpe. (Think "30-30/150g @ 100 yards".)

We have yet to see signs of failure to expand with the TTSX or MRX.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
