[QUOTE="Kinetic Energy, post: 34602, member: 2719"] I am fortunate in that I have killed hundreds of animals using Barnes X bullets since they came out in 1989. I have used them in most cartridges from .223 up to the world's most powerful varmint rifle, the .460 Weatherby. The triple shocks I have used in .25/06, 7X57, .30/06, .300 RUM, .340 Weatherby and .460 Weatherby. These bullets are the greatest technological advancement in ballistic history. Because they are essentially, an expanding solid, there is no bullet technology on the market that can out penetrate them and still be classified as a soft nose or expanding bullet. The current triple shock version is tremendously accurate and after using them in all bullet weights except the 160 grain version in 7mm for the above calibers, I would seriously question handloading practices or barrel quality before I pointed any fingers at this bullet for accuracy issues.
