Post some pics of expanded barnes bullets please state the caliber, weight, cartridge fired from, impact velocity, and range
Interesting occurrence. I've used them on elk and work GREAT AT 400 yards in my 300. Interested to see them at 800-1000
shot 6 deer last year with tsx bullets. one with the 300 wby 3 with the 2506 and 3 with the 257 wby. didnt recover a bullet. As a matter of fact didnt recover two of the deer. Only two deer ive not recovered in many years. The 4 i recovered showed very little damage not much of a wound channel other then the one i shot with the 300. It hit the shoulder bone and tracked down the leg and blew out the bottom of the leg. bone fragments destroyed the lungs. I contacted barnes about this and all they would say is basicaly @@@ happens. Sorry fans but i wouldnt use another one on deer. they may work well for taking game larger then a guy should with a given caliber like say shooting a moose with a 25-06 but for deer there just to stout. On the other hand i also took 3 deer with noslers etip solid 140 out of one of my 7 mags and that bullet decked all three deer on the spot gave excellent wound channels and did exit out the other side. Seemed to work much better then the barnes.
