[QUOTE="ridge rider, post: 434807, member: 17933"] These Barnes bullets appear to be the most over rated bullets for their promised performance. I know of and have witnessed very dismal performance on the expansion of these so called big game bullets on our deer here in Australia. I have three mates who have used these supposed "premium" hunting bullets on Sambar deer (3rd largest deer in the world after Moose and Elk/Wapiti) that max at around 700 pounds. Their shots at Sambar stags were actually filmed as the deer was shot at various ranges from around 80 metres, 210 metres and 370 metres. In all 3 cases all deer were shot with at least three bullets and needed to be put down as they were either running or kicking. This was not attributed to poor shooting but due to dismal performance and lacklustre expansion of these so called "killer petals" that Barnes bulletts advertises. I will not talk about the other five stags that ran off wounded and were never found. These bullets simply perform dismally on the deer we have over here despite all of Barnes' claims. I for one will never buy these again and nor will I ever recommend them to anyone...not even my worst enemies. FULLSTOP. Sorry but that is the truth and also my honest opinion of them. [/QUOTE]
