ExclusiveBarnes user here, for years! In fact since they were pretty much introduced. Suffered through the bad copper, got used to cleaning copper fouling, but was tired of finding jacket and lead fragments in the meat from other bullets. I too Doc, am like Quincey after the fact, lol! I've used the Originals, the TSX and now the TTSX in everything, from coyotes to moose in every caliber I have. Only one I ever retrieved was a 250gr TSX out of a moose I shot head on, sighted center of the chest just below the lips, at around 200 yards offhand with my 338 Win Mag. Moose dropped at the shot, DRT, and found the bullet back in the ham. I'm loading the 130gr TTSX in my 308 Win now too, hoping to put one to good use soon.
