[QUOTE="Catskills, post: 2102865, member: 106302"] I’ve shot a number mule deer with the Barnes 250s. Inside of 200yds, they always exited and the wound suggested excellent expansion. I think the difference in our experienc is velocity. I use 3 50g pellets which drives these through my chronograph at >2200 FPS. 2 50g pellets chronographed 1700fps. I suspect at the ranges you were shooting, velocity had simply dropped to far to provide the additional penetration. I did play around with 300g bullets. Penetration was great...but expansion fell off quicker than I wanted. I always was tempted to shoot other bullets but was unwilling to accept inferior accuracy. [/QUOTE]
