The Barnes X bullet is fantastic.  Its expansion & weight retention equal max penetration even on the thickest skin critters.  The only problem I ever had on the X was finding the best overall length in reloading for max accuracy.  Once I found it...a little shorter than I was used to loading, the accuracy was spot on 1/2 minute angle at 100yrd.  The 225gr & 175gr shot almost identical trajectory out of my Browning A Bolt .338.  I never had a problem with expansion, but then again I don't shoot 522 yrds & 802 yrd...give me a break.  Talk about ethical hunters MMMMMMMMMM!  If you like the X bullet, you'll love the tripple shock & TSX bullet even better.
