[QUOTE="budlight, post: 1995864, member: 2939"] I have great faith in the Barnes X bullets. I have not tried GMX bullet. 30 years ago I bought 405 gr Barnes X and shot them into a soft sand embankment at various ranges to check expansion before a safari. After digging them up 100, 200, 300, 400 yards. they all made the same size X, But the the bullet was longer as the distance went up. [B]A picture is worth 1000 words. I kept this in my desk. left 62 gr .224 and right 405 grain Barnes X shot out of my 26 inch 458 win mag 400 yards into slightly angled damp sand bank. They take out any plains game including lions. I went mule deer depredation hunt in a farmers field to show my friend what it can do. classic side heart lung at 185 yards blows the deer sideways and @ 8 inch exit hole I've used solid copper bullets in .277 and 300 win mag and never recovered one.
