I cannot speak for the 130 TTSX or the issues loading it. I can speak for the 150gr TTSX which I have developed loads for and how they perform.
Load development was easy; we started seating the bullets well off the lands (which I have found Barnes to prefer at 25 thou back). We used RL15 and worked up to 2900fps on the chrony. It produces consistent 3/4" groups out of the Kimber.
On game it's been a hammer out to 400ish on deer to moose.
The moose was over 300yds away and broke the shoulder blade and stuck under the skin on the other side. All the other animals have only had pass through performance with lots of internal damage.
He's killed close to 40 animals with that load now and doesn't feel the need to change.
I am going to be switching my little girl up to the .308 this year and I will likely try this load again. It's flat, the recoil is easy on you and it's apparently got the jam to handle Alberta.
I expect that a 130gr TTSX will perform similarly if one can find a consistent load. I will say that I am not afraid to seat Barnes deep and with some jump.
