[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 697433, member: 13632"] I'm not trying to poop on this thread, I'm very interested in the CE's even though I'm knee deep into them and have yet to get them to shoot so last night I ordered some of the 270cals which I can usually get to shoot with ease, if it seems I'm harping on the CE's it because I want to get them to shoot good enough to shoot game with them and make a decision based on what I pull out of game, that's it I'm trying to give them a fair shake. The Barnes failed to penetrate because it was to hard and to large it simply hit the wall where as the jacketed bullet did not even open till the bone and it opened and the tip likely took a lot of bone out of the way of the shank which was able to continue through the bone into the vitals. Very simply a case of the Barnes having to large a frontal area vs it's momentum so it deflected to the side and out the front of the shoulder. Actually I'm giving the CE's a shake because they are or seem to be softer than the Barnes and I like that, I think it would be good to learn and know a bullet that would be legal to use in non lead states. If I can get the 270 to shoot them I'll take them to Wyoming with me to shoot beside the other bullets I have and see how they do, I'm fairly open minded about the CE's. [/QUOTE]
