If the 140gr tsx shoots well,I wouldn't bother with the 160gr.The tsx performs like heavier bullets of conventional construction,so a heavier bullet is not required.As well the 160gr tsx is a flat based design,so you don't gain a BC advantage over the 140gr tsx which is a boat tail design.
Have you thought about taking up reloading? Factory loaded ammo with premium bullets costs quite a bit more than ammo with the same bullets that you've loaded yourself. It's a great hobby and there is a certain satisfaction one gets from shooting / hunting with ammo you've loaded yourself. The process is easy once you learn to do it properly / safely and it's not that expensive to get into. You'll probably find that you have a lot more bullet choices compared to factory ammo too.
I shot 160's in africa for up to kudu and down to steenbok and they deffinetly arent needed for deer, may be good for moose but deffinetly not a requirement. I would check shpk archery lanes as i have found some federal ammo there before
I would like to keep the 140's I just can't find any yet in town any more. If I can't find them I have also thought about reloading myself or getting to know someone who is already into it.
you know someone who reloads, i will get you and your brother going, you are gonna have to pick up a few things and take a few trips to the range but we can cook up some loads that will work. dont turn you back on the barnes boy.
PS. it might cost you a bottle for your first lesson, but i will share
