I killed a handful of deer (whitetail) with the 85 grain Barnes TSX. All pass throughs on broadside/quartering shots and none of them traveled more than 50 yards or so. They seemed to foul my barrel quite a bit, so switched to the the 95 Nosler Ballistic tip. I’ve shot 3 with that load, one DRT neck shot and two lung shots that went 40 yards and piled up. I will probably be using that combo again next week if I can’t fill my tag with the lever gun this weekend. (H4350 and CCI 200 on both both loads)
