[QUOTE="std7mag, post: 2985811, member: 125590"] [USER=128235]@Pugh26[/USER], Ok, so the Barnes actually behaved like a Hammer or Cutting Edge bullet. Excellent!! I shoot several different 25 caliber rifles and cartridges. 250 Savage 257 Roberts 257 Roberts AI 25 WSSM 25-06 257 WBY Mag While i haven't tried the mono bullets in 25 caliber yet, I've shot darn near every cup & core bullet out there. All will put game down. But some of the most effective ones don't always give an exit wound. My 2 most used bullets are the 115gr Nosler Ballistic Tip and the 115 gr Berger VLD Hunting. The Ballistic Tips hold together well. Always an exit, but never had a deer go more than 30 yards with one exception. (The 100gr NBT from my 250 Savage after hitting a branch would be the only exception) The Berger VLD, i haven't had an exit wound yet. Furthest a deer has gone is 20 yards. (That doe was at 400 yards. Bullet sized entrance wound. Blood everywhere!! Destroyed both lungs and heart. Jacket under offside hide. Lost about 2" of rib meat on entrance side, 1" on off side. ) If shot within 100 yards, they mostly just drop. My daughter using my 257 Roberts the other year. Shot a 6pt about 70 yards. "He just kinda puffed up, went straight legged and fell over." No exit wound. [/QUOTE]
