[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1758535, member: 75451"] bigngreen, I’ve had bullets that I’ve been disappointed with, but only one that absolutely failed (by my standards, not those of many here). I’ve been very pleased and successful with mono bullets. Though, once an antelope, hit “very” low in the chest....didn’t leave blood for about 30 yards. The Antelope went down at around 40 to 45. And unless pushed very fast, shots over 800 or 900 should not be taken with a Barnes. Though, in reality an unexpanded bullet through bone and vitals, is likely more effective than one that “fragments” on the surface .....creating a shallow wound! One should certainly operate within the performance limits of their chosen bullet. In summary: I will not take shots beyond 700 yards, and perhaps many here shouldn’t take shots at less than 400 or 500 yards. I’ll work within my limits.....but, will these other “sportsmen”! memtb [/QUOTE]
