Give me a field performance report. Thinking it's a good Prong/Whitetail/Mulie out of my 7mm/08.

There is buzz on several forums about the TSX bullets. The general consensus is this: if you're using a small caliber for your game size, you can benefit from their penetration. But be ready to track an animal quite a ways. Unless you are pushing the envelope on game size/cartridge, TSXs can cause you more problems than they fix. I'd scrap it if you're talking 7mm bullets on deer and proghorn.
Of course experience isn't really needed to make up ones mind. Half the clowns that opine on such things have never even shot one.
If it doesn't have lead in it I'd never gamble with it. There are way more good reasons 99.9% of all bullets along with the best performing bullets contain dense materials (ie lead).
I see you've read Barsness and ran with it (he is still a fan of Barnes, btw). Go to the Africa forum on the "other site"and read some JJHACK. I'll say it again, most people with the loudest opinions have never even used them.
After around 40 head of big game killed by myself and others, I take the "take longer to kill" FWIW, and that is a minority's opinion. Just because a scribe of a gun rag thinks so, dont make it so, I've argued with Barsness about his opinion on more than one occasion, I've came to the belief the man has too many company's to please to be a champion of a single product, such things go unnoticed by many.
I think I read that JJ doesn't recomend the light 230gr TSX in his 375 because they tumble...
