[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 855184, member: 41442"] never once said the 240 wouldnt kill. I said it was lacking in the kind of quick kills the 257 is noted for. To be honest some of the most damaged deer ive shot at long range have been with partitions. Probably do to the fact that they outpenetrate most bullets and if you shoot a deer in the shoulder your going to loose both shoulders. The differnce a partition and a ballistic tip have in velocity at 400 yards sure isnt going to make the differnce in a kill or not. Id bet the partition still outpenetrates a ballistic tip at 400 yards and even 500. There still going to open up much better in my experience then a barnes will at those ranges and id bet much better then a bonded bullet. Like I said ive killed many deer with them and butchered them too and have never recovered a partition. You give one example of an elk with two partitions in it. You dont have a clue as to what gun shot them or the range they were shot at. Could be some idiot was blazing away with hiis 06 or even 308 at 800 yards. I once had a 300 wby with a 180 tsx at 150 yards hit a deer in low in the shoulder and had the bullet about turn 90 degrees and blow out the leg. one peddle off of that bullet went throught the shoulder and hit the heart and killed that deer. I talked on the phone to barnes about it and we came up to the conclusion that must have been a weard angle and the bullet took a dive. I asked if they had ever seen it before and they didnt deny it all they would say is odd things happen. Does that make the barnes bullet a poor penetrator on deer at a 150 yards??? I dont think so. Ive killed proably 30 deer with .30 cal tsx bullets since and never recovered a single one. But if that was my onlye experience with barnes bullets id be saying there unrealiable penetrators. Go back to my post about the 240 and youll find people that agree with my thoughts on how quick killing a 240 is or any 6mm. this post could go on for weeks and i doubt we will find another guy that has shot more then one deer with a partition say there are recovering bullets all the time because they run out of steam faster then some other bullet or another so called butcher that is recovering them all the time. this isnt my first rodeo and i know better.
