I've taken two elk (one bull, one cow) and a large muley buck with the 130gr. tsx in the last year. All three were in the 170 to 180 yard range. All three dead. The deer was a quartering towards shot, and it knocked him on his azz, complete penetration. The cow was broadside, broke the near side upper leg bone, through rib #4, top of the heart, lungs, out rib #3 and the far side shoulder area, bullet exited and not recovered. She went 60 yards on 3 legs and a lot of will to live, but she was dead on her feet. A couple of real impressive performances with that bullet.
I'd say the 130 tsx's do just fine. I wouldn't hesitate with it out to 500 yards, which is as far as I care to take a poke at a critter.
