[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1689130, member: 108965"] Frog4aday hit the nail in the head here. Change the bullet regardless of how you feel for the Barnes, boost her confidence and go with a 90gr Accubond or 95gr SST, DRT or maybe a step or two. It is well known that the TSX, TTSX and other monolithic bullets don't always expand upon impact even at high speeds I've seen pencil size holes on lungs even at some close ranges, and by close I mean under 100 yds. There might be a blood trail because of the exit hole but that doesn't mean the lungs and heart were turned to Jello. I know some will agree that with those bullets it's best to go for shoulder shots to ensure proper bullet expansion and are not adecuate for behind the shoulder impacts. They are not a forgiving bullet and there's no room for error with them. Best to stay away from them. Just my $0.02 [/QUOTE]
