I know a lot will say pass thrus dont dump their energy and that may be true but a hole poked thru both lungs makes a sucking chest wound and they dont go far. I have yet to recover but one Barnes bullet and it was shot long ways in a hog from front to back and was just barely under off side hams skin and it was mushroom perfection. I do think the TTSX expand a little quicker than the TSX and seems to leave a better blood trail but most will fall withen sight. Both types exit which I was not consistently getting from off the shelf loads with lead bullets on broad side shots.

The 120’s are good too but they Peter out pretty quick past 300 yards due to low BC. The LRX’s open up a little better.

I have only shot a few critters with them and all were bigger/tougher critters. I personally think the solid cooper bullets are too hard for out small/soft Alabama whitetail. Nosler Partition or Accubond bullets are hard to beat IMO. IKNOWMYPHUCKINGCODEDAMMITYOUDICKHEAD!!!
