I use the 250 gr Barnes TSX in my Remington 700 Classic. It worked very well on my Namibian plain games hunt. I recovered several bullets against the off side hide, bullets in oryx and kudu and even one from a duiker that was struck in the south end while running north. Mine were loaded to 2822 fps. My thinking was to reduce recoil with a flatter shooting bullet. Did take Springbuck at a little over 300 yards with a prone shot.
Also, used it on a SE Alaskan black bear which was a through and through. And on both a Montana and a Utah bison hunt. Recovered the Utah bullet; Montana passed through.
But with all that experience, while planning for a buffalo hunt I purchased a box of 300 grain TSX. My African buffalo hunt fell through.
