I shoot barnes TSX in anything that beats 3000fps. In high velocity rounds it is the way to go. I have killed a bunch of big alaskan game with TSX bullets in 168gr 308 out of a 300 RUM and some buddies have used the 270gr TSX in 375. They just work better. I've yet to find an animal that can stop that 168gr TSX out of my 300 RUM. 3 moose, 4 black bear, and two caribou have fallen to that combo. I even went stem to stern on a bull moose at just under 200 yards, thats 5+ feet of heavy animal including some serious bone. I've seen 180gr noslers stopped dead in the spine of two moose. Not that the nosler isn't a great bullet but I prefer the barnes.

A decent hunt up here will cost you more than $1k in fuel alone so I'm not going to worry about spending a dollar a bullet.
