The 150 gr. Barnes TTSX bullet will kill anything on the op's list easily. Always drop down in bullet weight using mono bullets. I used 235 gr. Barnes Xbullets in my .375 H&H . I'm guessing you didn't read the thread. You guessed wrong my friend. So you'd rather use a bullet that is harder and takes an additional 500 fps more to open to an equal diameter? TTSX .243/80 = 2000 fps
TTSX .308/130 = 1800 fps
TTSX .308/150 = 2000 fps
TTSX .308/168 = 1500 fps Seems like something Barnes should fix to me.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I personally would go 168gr in both the 30/06 and 300 Mag. My camp shoots the 168gr out of 30/06 rifles. Through my limited experience but also through experience of friends, don't expect many animals to go straight down after being hit by a TSX unless you breakdown some sort of skeletal structure. Also, if you hit them correctly don't expect them to go more than 50 yards either. A lot of bullets will do that, but this one may do it from more angles than some. I had one experience where I wondered if some sort of fragmentation may have helped down the animal a little quicker - a little better shot placement may have helped as well.
Arizona gave me a coupon for free bullets one year when I drew the Kaibab. They encourage hunters to go lead-free up there so I figured why not? They fly well and work fine. I don't shoot past 1/3 of a mile, so really don't see how this bullet won't continue to work for me. Plus, I have enough on the shelf that economically-speaking I won't be making a change any time soon.
