[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1009272, member: 55230"] No blood= miss hahahaha I've had great luck w/ barnes. Every one I recovered was as advertised. Just a few weeks ago my girlfriend shot a small bull with 150gr 7mm-08 at 190yds, no blood. Must have center punched the heart b/c he took 2 steps and curled up. It was cold and raining so I didn't want to play doctor to find out. My friend shot a cow w/ same gun but 140tsx hit mid body behind shoulder she basically fell over the ridge she was on. Shot at about 150yds. I have a 150gr 30cal out of a 30-06 I recovered from a doe. It went from her brisket to her hind leg just under the skin. The bullet looks as advertised. I also have a few muzzle loader bullets I've recovered, and again all as advertised. One doe I shot had about a golf ball sized channel through the front side of her shoulder. Any bullet can potentially fail, so I wouldn't think changing would make a world of difference. I'd only consider changing if there were multiple failures. Barnes would be perfect if they'd lose the relief cuts and increase their BC's. I'm not certain those are as effective as advertised and just there to ease worries of fouling. [/QUOTE]
