[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2969964, member: 75451"] You need to quit listening to "most people"! 😉 High velocity impact with a highly frangible bullet in a small caliber will generally, with similar points of impact, will create far more tissue damage than a much larger bullet of stronger construction at a more modest velocity. If shots are kept within the reliable expansion velocity of the bullet…..I highly recommend a mono bullet. They may be lacking a bit in BC vs some of the cup and cores…..their performance with a high velocity hit at near point blank shots on a steep raking shot cannot be matched by a cup and core bullet. Even the "bonded" cup and cores cannot perform as well as a mono in the previously mentioned scenario! I would bet that my .375 AI pushing a 270 grain Barnes bullet near 3100 mv at a similar distance……would do less tissue damage than what you experienced! To answer your question, we use Barnes as our hunting bullets. A satisfied consumer since the early '90's! memtb [/QUOTE]
