[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 509108, member: 23486"] I believe it was RIFLE magazine that conducted a test to answer your question regarding excessive penetration & Barnes Bullets, which read something like this: "the .30 cal 180 TSX fired into "24 inches (IIRC) of ballistic gelatin (to approximate the chest cavity of a mature elk) containing the shoulder joint of a bovine, with velocities from ~2700 to 3100fps to cover the approximate range from 30-06 to 300 win mag; showed an average exit velocity of no more than ~150fps...." which doesn't equate to a heck of a lot of retained energy (i can't remember what they posted). Controlled test to be sure, but an interesting read none the less. [/QUOTE]
