I'm sure not taking sides in this, but I've shot seven African animals with Barnes bullets, and a pile of American animals with partitions and TSXs. All of them died and were recovered. So, as far as deadly, they're pretty much the same to me.
However,the Barnes are far more accurate in my guns (223, 243, 260, 270, 7-08, 308, 30-06, 300 SAUM, 300 Win Mag and 375 H&H).
could be a fluke, though ;-)
