Congrats on tagging out, sounds like you had a very successful season.

The penetration you got from the Barnes bullet does not surprise me. I've been using them since before the TSX was introduced and penetration/internal ballistics has always impressed me. What did not impress me about the original Barnes X bullet was it's accuracy. In a gun that shot MOA with Nosler Partitions I had to work to get 2 MOA using the original Barnes bullets. When the TSX and TTSX were introduced though that changed and now that same gun shoots MOA with them. Awesome hunting bullets in my opinion.
