[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1602651, member: 108965"] Not a fan of Barnes or other monolithic bullets. I have not been impressed with the wound channel or damage they cause if you dont hit bone and break a shoulder. I have a box of the 120gr TTSX that I might try on my 7mm Rem Mag, I want to make sure those are going fast enough to expand, but on a coues deer, I am almost sure they would just pencil through, they aren't tough animals. Maybe try them on Javelina or some coyotes, Javelinas are tough little critters and you are more likely to hit bone in it's head or neck. On a Coues deer you would have to hit bone to cause enough damage, and the coues does not have a lot of meat and I don't want to waste any. I am not a shoulder hit fan so I stick to cup and core bullets. I like double lung and heart, except Javelia, those I go for the head and neck so I dont waste any meat. [/QUOTE]
