TTSX very plenty.

Shoot'em threw the slats, just about and decent controlled expansion bullet will work.

I even used a 7mm 150 Btip on a bull elk, Shot him twice, because he was headed wobbly legged after the first shot threw lungs/heart, Second shot angled from last rib to bust far shoulder blade, for the very steep hill he just climbed.....

Focus on shot placement.
