[QUOTE="kweidner, post: 642651, member: 4964"] I too have been hunting with the Barnes for about 6 years now. I use them exclusivley from my Ar-15, 6.5 284, 280 rem, and 300 ultra. First valuable lesson learned shoot for bone. They are incredible, it anchors them. The bullet does minimal meat damage belive it or not through the shoulder. I have probably shot upwards of 50 animals with them mostly medium GA whitetail. Tracked a few but that was due to me pulling a shot. Never lost one with a Barnes. Once i started shooting the shoulder, ,never had to track again. DRT shot two this year near the 500 mark with the ultra. It was like i hit them with a train. DO NOT SHOOT BEHIND THE SHOULDER UNDER 100 YDS. Deer will be relatively easy to find but they will run a bit. Hit the shoulder and lights out. This is my experience. Of the 50ish animals i have shot, no shoulder was ruined....What turned me into a believer was when I took 2 one year with my AR in the 70 grain variety both near 300 yds. One nice 8pt was facing me. shot the brisquet. bullet traveled all the way through the deer, quarter size exit out of the back ham, DRT. Never looked back, never will. I need to find those pictures. Since then I have helped many a younger hunter get into larger game with the Barnes. Give the shoulder shot advice, and I end up having to help them clean their quarry. JMHO [/QUOTE]
