I used 'em in .308 for hog hunting and they performed very well; accurate and deadly on Porky. I loaded them up about .5gr higher than my stardard 168gr bthp load and the accuracy was right there in my semi-auto M1A & Win Model 100. Definitely a good choice for hunting. For extremely heavy game, I might still prefer a Partition or bonded-core bullet, otherwise the TSX are my hunting round.
