My overall philosophy is dead is dead and the animal never knew the difference.

Having said that, I think TBBC's are great bullets and we are lucky today that we have so many great bullets to choose from. Are there some bullets you don't want to use on some game? Yes, but that is a whole other debate.

Anyway, I have been using Barnes TSX on elk, bear and deer for several years now with great success. I just happen to have one here I pulled from under the opposite shoulder skin of a 6x6 bull I shot. It was from my 300 wsm using 168 grains, the recovered bullet weighs 167 grains after a approx 250 yard shot.
I also have one here the shoulder of a black bear I shot with a 338 225 grain TSX at 50 yards.

Not that I think the TSX is the end all of bullets but while we are sharing I thought I would show a couple I have recovered.
