[QUOTE="257RobertsMan, post: 1767468, member: 111366"] Just wondering, since I've never shot any of the Barnes bullets, would a light or lighter for caliber Barnes traveling at a higher velocity than you normally shot open up more on a broadside behind the shoulder shot placement? For example only, let's say I have a 308 reloaded with 150gr Accubonds @ 2,870fps and decided to try a Barnes 130gr TSX/TTSX @ 3,100fps, would the Barnes being light and faster at shorter ranges give more expansion at impact and thru the wound channel. Not trying to start an argument here, just some reloading thoughts going thru my mind and would like to hear some feedback from those that have experience with this scenario. I think with bonded or all copper bullets that expansion and internal ballistics would be greater in broadside shots with lighter faster traveling projectiles. And yes I know at long/longer ranges what your giving up by going lighter. Is my line of reasoning wrong? Just trying to learn from the best, thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
