My question is based towards those with experience shooting a lot of copper. My experience with my 30-06 180’s has been complete pass throughs with bull elk and deer, with less noticeable trauma on the deer.

168 TTSX fully opens quickly and most likely will pass through, I wouldn't call it penciling. If you're wanting to see more trauma try softer 180 Hornady SP or Speer hotcor flat base.
