Something folks need to become aware of, is the new non lead bullets are not as quick to open as the lead based counterparts. The Tipped TSX, like you asked about, are supposed to open sooner, but not sure personally. I would suggest a 160gr TSX, personally, suspecting the heavier bullets might not perform as well on a thin skin game animal like a deer, especially at longer ranges. If memory serves, the first test I read about on game, with the then new 338 Fed, was on an elk, with the 185gr TSX, and it performed perfectly. I THINK the range was at least a couple hundred yards, maybe 300.
Others might have personal experience with the load you have, hopefully it's good.
