[QUOTE="Starlite, post: 1967331, member: 112246"] I agree. To me it sounds like you’re loading those bullets with to much velocity. If you distance is under 200Y then in my opinion your muzzle velocity should be around 28-2900FPS. If your velocity is over 3000 on impact then I’d expect the copper Barnes not to expand as intended. The Nosler or Berger will “grenade” and give up their energy within 3” the bullets aren’t the issue it’s how their being used. If you want a screaming bullet then I’d shoot for the head and their sure to be DRT. I try to shoot all my animals in the head. Especially at longer distances. This way their dead or it’s a clean miss. It’s a win win. Of course I’m not a trophy hunter. Antlers don’t taste very good 🤮 [/QUOTE]
