We've used several monometals -- GMX, CX, TTSX. Have even tested TSX and LRX.
As far as I can tell they all work just fine. As far as I know the deer didn't care whether it was Hornady or Barnes. This is for ethical hunting distances though so your mileage may differ on long distance shots. Guns were 30-06 and 7mm-08.
We never recovered any bullets, all shots have been full pass-throughs. The bullets opened up just fine from looking at the projectile paths in the animals.
LRX and plain TSX are the only bullets we haven't had a chance to use on an actual hunt, although they tested just fine. Will likely try the LRX in the future if we know we have open fields and longer distances. Got some TSX on a sale, so that's why we have some of those.
Good luck on your hunt this year!
