[QUOTE="crumy, post: 731393, member: 59471"] We only shoot barnes in my house. My wife has a 7-08, son a 243, and me a 300 win mag. It is all about placement. My wife shot a bull this year in the shoulder with a 140 grain. My son dropped a 6x6 with a .243. 85 grain. Her's dropped in the tracks with a shot right in the shoulder. He shot his twice. Both in the lungs. First shot it didn't run, hunched up and the second put on ground. The 85 is probably borderline, but shot placement has more to do with it than anything. His were both pass through breaking ribs both times. Here bullet I recovered as it went through the shoulder, and out the other side. Stuck in the hide. I shoot 180 barnes. Not shot a bull yet, but dropped three cow elk in 4 years. All were within 40 yards of shot. On her bullet they do exactly what they say they do. Very little loss of mass and just peeled back. Went through shoulder, broke rib on other side and stuck in hide. I have attached a picture of bullet with unfired cartridge. I attribute the lopsided look to the fact that the animal was quartering.
