[QUOTE="BigNate, post: 2374607, member: 301"] I have used Barnes from early on with results that made me go back to lead bullets of various makes. I found that the original X was just as likely to not open at all as it was to work as designed. Then tried XLCs which were not improved at all. I've loaded tried some TSX at various times, and even loaded some TTSX. Let me say the wound channels are narrow, and shot placement is just as critical as ever. If you want them to drop you want bullets that dump everything, wide channels and less penetration. Bergers, accubombs, SSTs etc work like this. The reason Nosler partitions are still in use is because the front is fragile making for a wider wound channel, and the base stays together for deep penetration. This combo performance seems more in line with what you desire. Raking shots seem to be the most apt to start a rodeo. [/QUOTE]
