You can’t even buy the original X let alone be given them.

I have some X 210 grain in 338 I would give someone…just trying to figure out who I dislike that much!

I never shot any game with them because three shots completely copper fouled my barrel so badly I could barely keep those same three shots on the target at 100 yards - about a 14” group.

TSX, TTSX and LRX are nothing like the old X bullets.

And they have been out of production for eons.

so sounds like the terminal ascent and partition would be the best of the best ..
Compared to the ttsx and such , blue tips

-Less fouling
-better terminal performance
-shoot thru's / without
-expansion

Less fouling is certainly not the case. Better terminal performance is pretty subjective, and if you are shooting game inside, say, 600 yards expansion is a non issue.

It probably doesn’t matter what bullet you choose, but at least base choices on facts, not internet feelings.

will do .. Your facts are internet , maybe
I like the ascent and PT
Not to say the TTSX is a failure but everyone has a choice
I actually like the mono's , just less
