[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2361743, member: 69192"] I use Barnes bullets all of the time, however.........not at the velocities that you are writing about; 30-06 180gr TSX, .358 Win 200gr TTSX, 35 Whelen 225 TSX. I keep hoping to find a recovered bullet just to see how it performs, but I am left with only a "very" large exit hole and no bullet to recover. I did shoot a black bear on year with the Barnes 180gr TSX at very close range with the 30-06 @ 2800fps, the bullet traveled the entire length of that bear and exited again leaving a very large exit hole. I am curious if there was perhaps anything/obstacle/twig between you and where you shot the deer and the bullet hit something before it reached your buck? I am not being critical by any means here, I am curious? From what I have read, even if the bullet didn't open up, the bullet should have traveled through the buck with enough energy to exit the buck as well. From what you have written, you have some great neighbors, who gave you the opportunity to get a great looking buck. Congratulations on both. [/QUOTE]
