[QUOTE="Reloader222, post: 1923986, member: 25295"] I agree that Barnes bullets are rated one of the best hunting bullets, but through years I have experienced that the expansion could be better. From .270Win bullets recovered from a Kudus the Barnes TSX 150gr had a mushroom of 12.5mm with +-97% weight retention whereas a Hornady Interbond 150gr bullet had a mushroom of 16.8mm in diameter with a 84% weight retention. Somehow you need a bullet to break up a little to do more damage and you need a good mushroom as a bleeding channel. Most Kudu I have shot with Barnes TSX had run +-50meter before they drop. With the Hornady Interbonds it was all instant drops. The Barnes had performed excellent in that there was nearly no blood shot meat. The Hornady Interbonds had some blood shot meat, but far less than ordinary unbonded bullets. So it depends on what you prefer. [/QUOTE]
