I've shot a bunch of the monolithics (and near-monolthics, like the North Fork) in to both media and game. There isn't enough difference in penetration to mean anything.

The plastic-tipped bullets of whatever brand tend to expand more widely, doing more damage. They also expand more reliably than hollow-point TSX's, especially in smaller calibers/.

As far as accuracy goes, they're all very accurate but on occasion a certain barrel doesn't like the E-Tip, probably due to the solid shank.

None of the recent bullets foul barrels any more than standard bullets.

All have proven somewhat sensitive to seating depth.
