[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2898573, member: 117774"] For years I have preferred the Barnes X- bullets in one form or another. They typically produce a 4 to 6" wound channel from start to finish and full penetration is expected - even when a shoulder bone is encountered. I have cleaned enough big game to have seen the destruction that a frangible can inflict - sometimes 1/4 to 1/3 of the animal is wasted - even on elk and especially if multiple shots are used to take the game down. I also like the second hole when tracking game - the first bull I shot with the x-bullet ran straight towards me and the double lung shot produced two spurting holes that I could clearly see as the bull got closer. He required no second shot. The far side hole in the hide showed a 4 petal X. That said, I'm not sure of their performance to extreme ranges and lower velocities as my shots are typically 450 yds or less and impact velocites have been 2400 FPS or more. [/QUOTE]
