[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1559738, member: 13632"] I shot a LOT of Barnes fully fan boy till I realized how many elk I have hit well and had no indication of a hit or after looking for hours for anything indicating a hit I lost them, I watched a cow elk tip over in a herd after 45 minutes with a solid lung hit, I hit another cow in the shoulder and the Barnes never made it in and deflected forward out the front of her shoulder, knocked her out thinking she was dead but she picked her head up when I got there, the only reason I got her was the bullet exited the front of her shoulder and cut her jugular that she bleed to much to stand but I still had to kill her with a knife, another cow hit her 6 times in the front end and still killed her with a knife, I can keep going, we all shot Barnes and we started packing 22 lr pistols so when they were alive when we got there we didn't have to use a knife. I changed to Bergers mid season and have never shot an animal a second time with them and never had one make it out of sight, no longer pack a pistol, all I changed was my bullet and it was a whole new world, not a single one of use still shoots Barnes which is a hard change for a Fan boy but the evidence made us change! If you have good luck with them awesome, you would be dumb to change but if they don't work why stay with them, what every a guy gets game dead the fastest and cleanest with it whats best for him!
