For deer the 130gr TSX is deadly & this side of 400yds it excels. Plus reduced recoil & super quick time of flight. When larger game like elk are encountered the 150 TSX/TTSX will give complete penetration even thru bone. . Will penetrate two elk side by side. There is still the perception by some about what a certain cal bullet should should weight for specific game. The copper mono's have changed this dramatically. The Barnes 150gr TSX/TTSX has a BC similar to a 165gr C&C bullets.. My 6.5's put elk down decisively with Barnes 120gr TSX/TTSX. So a 30 cal with the 150gr TSX/TTSX Barnes should be Godzilla capable. Nosler partition is an excellent bullet, but the copper mono's far exceed it's capability to penetrate when heavy game with heavy bone is the target. To me the copper mono's inspire total confidence.
