[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 853339, member: 41442"] I havent shared the same experience with my stw. Ive shot many deer with the 150 bt and unless you have a bad agle or are shooting shoulder shots it does no more damage to a meat then an 270 or 06 does. Might put a bigger hole in the ribs or blood shot the ribs a bit more but who cares. Not much meat on the ribs anyway. One more thing ill add. My dislike for barnes bulelts and other very well constructed bullets is more in the small calibers. Ive had good luck with barnes bullets in the .30mags and even in the 7mags. they seem to have enough more mass and do a good job on deer at mag velocitys and have given me quick kills out to 400 yards. I wouldnt push a barns bullet any farther then that in any caliber or cartridge though. Ive shot 4 deer in the last two nights using them. Two each with 165s tsx out of my 300 ultra and 150 tsx out of my 300 H&H. Longest shot was 350 and none of those 4 deer took more then one leap before piling up. Did tear one up a bit with the H&H. Shot it facing me at a slight angle at 200 yards and the bullet went stem to stern taking out one shoulder and a good portion of one hind quarter. But the deer barely twitched. [/QUOTE]
