YEAH... I wouldn't want to shoot TSX's at varmints, unless you have a unlimited bank account !!! If your just shooting varmints, coyotes, dogs, and whatever else manages to strolle in then shoot something like Sierra's...they will more than accurate enough,.... for big game..hard to beat good old Nosler Partitions !! The only other would be the unleaded X-bullets...Heck, the 150 grainer will penetrate right through anything you'd care to shoot...the extra velocity helps make it shoot a little flatter also...150's are all you'll ever need.
