Funny how different guns react to bullets. I always liked the kill performance of nosler partitians but didn't get the accuracy I always wanted from them. I tried the TSX and they were better on the range. The kill performance was something I picked up on after quite a few animals from yotes to deer, caribou and elk. My next gun will be a .338 win mag and I'll try TSX out on that but if I have the same experience as you I'll try something else.
