[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2507911, member: 117774"] I totally agree with your analysis. I've had to follow up on several elk where the bullet was slightly off or didn't penetrate enough to keep the elk anchored. For myself,I prefer a bullet that stays together and penetrates far enough to reach the vitals from almost any angle. Barnes bullets in various forms will do that, and so will others that are designed simarily. Also, most game animals are taken under 400 yds and most calibers will maintain a 2000 FPS impact velocity at that range so expansion WILL occur. At 500 or 600 yds, some calibers drop off enough so that reliable expansion with a TSX bullet may not happen. I've never lost an animal from a Barnes bullet failure and neither has any of my friends that use them. But, most of our shots are under 450 yds and well within the boilerhouse of any form of Barnes bullets. And I've seen enough failures from cheap factory loaded ammo that I will never use them.
