[QUOTE="NorCalRiceGuy, post: 2060071, member: 65754"] Barnes are good bullets, have excellent weight retention and literally liquefy the lungs on deer and elk. It's been my experience that they just don't leave much of an exit wound though. Consequently, very little, if any, blood trail, especially with a heavy hide animal like an elk where the hide will slip over the smaller exit wound and eliminate most of the bleeding. Because the Barnes front petals peel back forming a sharp-edged cloverleaf shape, they "slice and dice" as they traverse the heart-lung area but they don't cause much hydraulic shock action like lead core and Hammer bullets do.
