[QUOTE="Bully, post: 499222, member: 29895"] I have shot barnes x in several calibers.I have found they work OK in lighter weight for caliber bullets and some shoot real well.I also found they don't work well or open up at lower velocity.A good friend almost got took out by a lion, that he hit three times but the bullets all failed to open, in a .375 x-bullet.the lion was killed by the PH when it charged and almost got my friend.To let you know,the lion was shot and ran off.the tracker followed it for a way,but they lost light and waited till next morning.they then found it still a live and he shot it twice more, before PH killed it. My friend said when they skinned the lion out, it looked like it was shot with a FMJ.PH told him that's why he don't care for barnes bullets and if asked will tell hunter to Leave them at home. I myself almost lost a good elk and would had if it was not for a fresh snow on the ground. I just don't care for the performance on game. I will stay with nosler or Berger . [/QUOTE]
