[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1353914, member: 30743"] Barnes are different than regular cup and core bullets, they're super tough and tend to have complete pass throughs. They don't tend to drop animals as quickly as softer bullets but on the other hand they rarely fail, I've never lost an animal shot with a TTSX. The conventional wisdom, which I agree with, is that barnes needs to be driven fast and to drop down in bullet weight. I would recommend going to a 120TTSX and driving it fast, my own deer load for the 7mm rem mag is that bullet at 3350 fps. I also recommend shooting for bone, I shoot for the mid-high shoulder. Don't shoot them behind the shoulder or they'll likely run a ways. [/QUOTE]
