[QUOTE="Reloader, post: 2361691, member: 2555"] You should see the damage of that same pill at 3700 in the Wby. I have had what you describe happen as far as petals blowing off and poking a tiny hole. Luckily lungs were hit and the sparse trail was only 150yds. I’ve had some others go a decent ways with them as well from what I assume is a similar issue. I’ve learned to just keep it broadside and on bone. My worst 100gr Barnes failure was last year on a dandy buck at 200yds. Same deal, shot him quartering hard away and had confidence it would come out the far side. That bullet deflected off the ham bone and was underneath the hide by his testicles. I luckily was able to catch up to him about an hour later and put him down. Light fast Barnes are iffy on raking shots contrary to what BS you’ll read on the net. Broadside bone hits are awesome with them however. I shot a nice 10 a couple weeks back with a 100 ttsx at 3300, he simply folded with a shoulder shot at 100yds. [/QUOTE]
