[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1826416, member: 109476"] I have been taking my elk each season since 1994 with the Barnes 6.5 120 X & now rhe TSX. This past season took my elk with the Hammer 6.5 121gr. One shot complete pass thru both front shoulders, DRT. A hunting friend uses a 308 with the Barnes 130gr TSX for his elk . Never a problem. The 30cal 150gr Barnes TSX will most likely shoot thru two elk side by side. These bullets penetrate as if they were significantly heavier. They tend to retain 95 to 100% of their weight which means considerably more momentum is retained which translates to far deeper penetration than C&C or partitioned bullets. Far less meat destruction also. When using the mono's a complete different understanding of bullet behavior is required.. [/QUOTE]
