[QUOTE="600BP, post: 517718, member: 22097"] TF, a friend of mine is a rep for Barnes bullets and got me hooked on them many years ago. The BC's are lower than many of the target bullets out there. But what I can tell you, from experience, is that 140grns is more than enough for what you are looking to do. A few years ago I shot completely through a 300lb mulie with a 100gr bullet, out of my 257weatherby, at more than a stones throw. I have also used them in my 35whelen for bear, 243win for whitetail, and 300weatherby for caribou and bigger animals. As of now I have recovered very few of the bullets. Penetration is hardly a worry. Getting them to group is sometimes a chore. However as recommended, you must play with the seating depth. Most of the calibers I shoot require a deeper seating depth than any other bullet used for that particular caliber. But when you find the sweet spot you will know it right away. Best of Luck Erik [/QUOTE]
