[QUOTE="Desert Fox, post: 107099, member: 396"] Inconsistent performance. He also shot several deer using this bullet and sometimes the bullet open up violently and some times not at all. I used that same load on a mule deer at 350 yards. I was aiming at the chest for a frontal shot at a quartering deer and somehow missed the chest all together. The bullet instead entered the frontal ribcage just behind the shoulder traveled the lenght of the deer and came out at the bottom of the stomach at the same time, blew the testicle on the way out. The deer shuddered and then took-off like a scalded dog. It took another round to the chest to finally put the animal out of his misery. I agree that Barnes are even tougher bullet especially on a deersize games but it's a question of preference. I know how deadly my buddy is with his Sendero and the 200 grain Barnes so who could argue. To date he harvested over three dozen games with them from Bison to coyote and never once lost an animal and most of them are one shot. [/QUOTE]
