[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 758165, member: 8833"] I have probably taken as many animals with Barnes bullets as anyone as I and my sons shot them for many years Switched to Bergers about '05 or so and never looked back. We bone everything right at the kill site, 98% of the time we use the gutless method. We process 100% of all our meat ourselves and always have. My kids are married and have their own young ones and it is a rarity that store bought meat is used by us. I started out many years ago using the Sierra and Hornady type over the counter bullets, went nosler partition for a lot of years, then Barnes and now berger. We have less blood shot, fragmented and wasted meat now than ever IMO. All I can say is - to each his own but I sure as hell wouldn't allow any bad meat/fragments/blood shot crap to ever get into a package that them grandkids of mine will eat. The bang flop, dead quick will have much less blood shot than when something puts a 200 yd sprint before collapseing. Seen it too many times. If you can break 'em down quick you will have much better meat majority of time. One last thing - with the new bigger and faster is better in today's world I would guess your going to have some meat questions with any bullet on say a 338 lapua on an antelope. [/QUOTE]
