I’ve killed a variety of animals small and large with the Barnes TSX and TTSX in 25-33 caliber. The one thing that I can attest to is that the Barnes don’t create the internal damage that many other bullets do. What Barnes do is penetrate and if you are a shoulder shooter they truly can’t be beat. If you like lung shots behind the shoulder then don’t expect DRT type kills with them. Not to say it can’t happen but IMO a lung shot is not the ideal shot with monos, maybe if you lung shoot em aiming for the opposing shoulder would be a better option. Just my $.02
