[QUOTE="NorCalRiceGuy, post: 1988296, member: 65754"] I think it depends on the bullet. There's a big difference between 139 or 140 grain lead core bullet and a mono all copper 140 gr. on elk. My last two bulls were taken with 140 gr. Barnes TTSX. First was at 410 yards, hit in the heart, walked three steps and fell over. Second was walking at 280 yards, took 2 in the chest. First one stopped him in place and the second made him collapse in place. Switching to Hammer bullets this season because they are designed to leave larger exit wounds than the Barnes, but still wouldn't have any problem using Barnes if the Hammers weren't available. Just my opinion based on my experiences. Others may differ... [/QUOTE]
