Have had good results with H4350 in my 25-06 with light bullets. I use H4831 with heavy bullets.
IMO the 25-06 is best with the 100g at 3300 plus and H4831. Coyotes to Alberta mulies with the same load. (I have even used it on moose twice.)
Stay away from the ultra light bullets unless turning gophers into mist is your thing. It is kind of a big 22-250 in the varmint category, but 75 grainers are too light (Unpredictable) for yodel dogs.
IMHO.

I haven't had success with the tsx. Every thing I shot them into blew off all the pedals and left a short shank. I don't load 90 gr class but varget and 75 gr Vmax is a great mix. Absolutely devastating on coyotes. I use imr 4831 and 117 gr interlock

Did it kill the animal lol
Long tracking and follow up shots did.
I've never used them on game but have pulled several out of game animals.
Maybe they're good in big bores but in small bores I don't trust them

Strange, I've had the complete opposite happen with the light for caliber ttsx, we'll over 30 head of game DRT. No tracking and instant kills
Caribou, moose, sheep, elk, deer, bears, wolves, wild boars
The key is to put the bullet through the lungs or heart.
