From what I've seen, you can't go wrong with the triple shocks. Great terminal ballistics. The bullet will not come apart like the varmint rounds and should almost always give a pass through even on some pretty good size hogs. I've tried them in my Tikka T-3 in 338 federal and have been absolutely impressed with accuracy. Haven't tried them in anything else, but plan to soon. As long as they group tight they will probably be my go-to tound in just about everything. Now they have the tipped TSX and the MRX which are all variations of the x-bullet. I think the MRX has a tungsten alloy core so it should be kookyfornia legal.
