Yes, this why I switched to the 95 gr. Barnes TTSX bullet. No weirdness in this bullet. Awesome wound channel, 2"-3" exit hole is typical, and one may find a copper mushroom wing piece in the blood pudding. If the critter doesn't DRT, then the blood train is usually easy to follow. I have switched to the TTSX bullet in all of my hunting rifles, from 6mm to .30 cal, because no matter how small or large the bullet is, it always does the same thing. I can find accurate loads, the bullet hits hard, and penetrates well, and mostly provides a decent leakage hole on the far side. In the 6.8, where velocity is hard to come by, the 95 gr. TTSX really shines. Most rifles like this bullet driven fast, so it shoots flatter, and hits harder when it gets there. The tipped all copper bullet takes care of the expansion and weight retention part, once it does get there.
This bullet takes the 6.8 from an OK deer/antelope round to a really good deer/antelope round. For varmints, and predators, I use the 90 gr. TNT HP, or Sierra HP. Both are close to the 95 gr. TTSX, so loads are similar, and zero changes are usually a few rounds and done, type of an exercise.
