[QUOTE="atl5029, post: 1355019, member: 84273"] I only hunt with monolithics and I'll tell you that the Barnes will definitely exit virtually all the time, giving you your exit wound for blood trail. For Maximum shock I'd drive a 120 grainer fast. I think the reason Barnes don't leave big exit holes is because they don't fragment like lead bullets do. To me I like that because it creates a dead animal with much less meat loss. But I have heard that if you drive a Barnes really fast you can blow the petals off, giving you your shrapnel and bang flop effect you desire. If you are not hunting at extended ranges, look at the 120 or I think there is a 110 you could drive REALLY fast out of a 7mmRM. I'd speculate within 300 yards you wouldn't even need to compensate for drop. [/QUOTE]
