[QUOTE="willyqbc, post: 1758642, member: 17279"] The 168 has been great on game for me, my moose this year took one to the lungs and another unneeded shot to the base of the neck to anchor him in a good spot, shots were from 400 yards even....great typical barnes performance. Have only shot this moose, 1 mulie, and a black bear with the 168, but have had flawless performance from the 139, 145, 175, and 200 lrx out of a 7-08, 280ai and 30.06 and 300 WM. You will need an 8 twist to stabilize the 168. Barnes claims it will open properly down to 1500 fps. I always like to keep a bit above manufacturers claims, so I stick to a rule of +200fps combined with 1000ft/lbs to determine my max range with barnes...stick to that and they have preformed flawlessly on close to 200 moose,elk, deer, bear, etc etc that myself and partners have used em on. In all thos critters i think we have recovered maybe 5 bullets, and all animals died between 0-100 yds...usually around 40 yds. Hope that helps! Chris [/QUOTE]
