[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 2361476, member: 108926"] That response is certianly dissapointing, I would ask who you talked too, not that it matters but I will bet whomever it was is not a user, and likely not even a hunter but rather a enginer, ( one of those types that likes to say but it worked on paper ) nobody in the Barnes family would have taken your concerns lightly, I suggest you not give up to quickly, I harvested my first deer in 71, I've been shooting a 257 ACK for 40 plus years, and have been running Barnes for about 25 of those, Shooting 8 different calibers in 11 rifles, 22 to 416 with velocity running 2700 to 3600 fps, ranges measured in feet to over 700 yds, I don't know the exact number but I've harvested over 100 head of big game with x bullets with 257 ACK being my favorite, although i prefer the 115 gr over the 100, there is another way to look at this incident, you may have harvested this buck because you were using Barnes bullets, not despite them, perhaps had you been using another bullet there is a chance you might not have recovered the animal at all, some animals just don't die when we want them too, I've had all makes of bullets fail at on point or another, I've had more 1 shot drop in they're track kills with Barnes than any other, I feel that some of these animals I collected only because I was shooting a x bullet, I haven't always made the perfect shot, I would imagine this experience would sour my feelings towards any bullet I was using on any animal let alone that one, I would be most proud of that animal, congratulations, [/QUOTE]
