[QUOTE="RidgeReaper208, post: 712849, member: 56638"] I just got back from a hunting trip and had EXCELLENT performance from my 180 grain Barnes Triple Shock Bullets....I shoot a .300WM and I dropped a 275lbs + Mule Deer, perfect 5x5 in it's track with one shot through the front shoulder/heart and double lungs at 207 yards. On this same hunt, I dropped a 5x6 Bull Elk at 405 yards in it's tracks with one Barnes Triple Shock 180 grain round. The Elk ran roughly 30 yards and toppled over with no additional movement. After looking at your picture and knowing that those bullets are older than 10+ years old, ammo looses it's integrity over time and buying new ammo before each hunting season will ensure the knock down power that these rounds are capable of. I found my round in the opposite side of the hide on my Elk and it did everything Barnes advertised. I weighed the round after retrieving it and it came back at 176 grains, which means that it retained 97.7777778% of it's original weight. My suggestion is that you buy some new Barnes Triple Shock ammo and then go hunting. I promise you will not be let down!!!! Even if your shot placement is a little off, the game will go down due to the energy these rounds release as well as the bullet expansion this bullet creates. [/QUOTE]
