[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1766475, member: 13632"] I didn't have any issues either till I started looking for them, they can be a great bullet but just because your shooting a Barnes doesn't mean you can all of the sudden shoot elk from any angle and be successful every time, I used to think so based on my experience in the mountains but once I started shooting elk on an open field and watching others where you see absalutely everything, no running over the hill or only seeing them for a split second. Not saying you can't be successful every time with any bullet BUT shot placement counts big time and having shot a ton of 165 and 168 Barnes from 06 to Magnums if you shoulder shoot elk be ready to pump more rounds in them, high shoulder you'll get away with most of the time center of the shoulder not even close.
