Minimum impact velocity is 1800 for the ttsx, 1600 for the lrx. You’re well above that with either at 500 yards with most loads.
My rifles have all liked the ttsx better. The animals have not required more than one shot, and the meat damage has been minimal. Elk shot through the heart broadside. Hit the crease, through the heart, out at the scapula joint...cut away a 4 inch diameter circle on each shoulder, thats all. He went 40 yards. Hit deer 3 inches behind the shoulder through the ribs and it’s lung soup with no meat damage at all.
