Not going to get in to the BT debate more then to say my experience doesn't mirror yours with this bullet on canadian whitetail or mule deer.

Like mentioned if you don't want any shedding of core or much weight then your option is the Barnes TSX in the federal premium line. Even the TBBC tipped will shed some as it is not 100% copper like the TSX, however its core is supposedly not lead. It is bonded to the jacket (much like a AB, Interbond, etc). Personally i think you'll have no problems achieving full penetration with these bonded bullets either. Personal experience with the AB for example has been very much like a nosler partition on deer, elk and moose. Weight retention is 60% ish and pentration has only been haulted by big media or bone on the larger critters like moose. The wound channels & blood trails have been excellent on all game. I have yet to recover one flung through a deer - all pass thru's in my 7mm rem mag and 338wm.
