[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1423951, member: 75451"] I started using Barnes mono Bullets in the early ‘90’s, yah....the bad ones. My first kill was with the original X bullet....end to end on an elk, broke off one petal, elk may have gone 60 or so yards after the shot! As Barnes improved their Bullets, I evolved with them. With quite a few elk kills since that first mono.....I’ve only had to shoot one a second time. It was an across draw shot, with a hard wind, and I “gut-shot” the elk....requiring a second shot. All others have been one shot kills. The same for antelope, moose, and sheep! We’ve been using them in my wife’s rifle since the mid- 90’s. She’s had two elk requiring a second shot ( one of which was shot at the same time as mine....we really mis-judged the wind). Other than the two mentioned,she’s taken, elk, moose, antelope, and bear, from approximately 30 yards to a measured 400 yards.....all one shot kills! Only one recovered bullet ( the one mentioned), all others were pass-throughs! They’ve worked exceptionally well for us....we’re not changing! memtb [/QUOTE]
