[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 639171, member: 24624"] Bigngreen is dead right. Proper ballistics studies confirm that "Hydrostatic" shock doesn't kill for the same reason rifles don't blow people through doors and walls like in the movies. Similarly, a karate kick to the chest won't give a bull elk a heart attack. Damage to vital tissue is what kills. And, that is caused by the bullet, or fragments of bullet and/or bone tearing away at tissue. Barnes makes an excellent product. I've had good success with TTSX on whitetails. But, the opportunity/need to hunt with them past ~200yds hasn't arrisen. They have great accuracy and penetration especially when it comes to breaking bones. They are effective in a number of applications. But, they just aren't generally going to be as effective at the longer ranges as Berger. Convesely, I wouldn't shoot a buffalo with a Berger. Load and shoot 100-200 Bergers and shoot them at 1000yds and do the same with TTSX or LRX (if you can afford it). ...then, let the wind decide. -- richard [/QUOTE]
