No experience with the BT’s in 8mm but I’ve shot quite a few critters with 180&200TSX…. I highly recommend them. I used to shoot the 180TSX out of my 8mag for deer. It hits them very hard. Then went to Africa and was planning on eland so I moved up to the 200’s. It hits them very hard as well. Only ever found two of them. One from a north bound zebra I shot in the south end as he was running away ( previously wounded by another hunter) and from an eland bull I shot directly in the shoulder from about 45 yards. Both bullets looked like barnes ads.
