[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2757150, member: 94556"] What terminal performance weaknesses did you notice with Barnes? For us it was a low BC limiting long range effectiveness and short range expansion reliability on their TTSX. We addressed both those issues by finding their root cause and designing around that. I was happy with how lethal they were when functioning as advertised, causing a rapid kill without much meat damage. Bullets that blow up on impact is not desirable in our book. We actually were surprised how penetrating our bullets are even at 600 + yds. Since then we have received multiple accounts ot Texas heart shots at relatively close range where the animal was fully penetrated and dropped right there. So we are very comfortable with the design and will match it up against anybody else’s. Gel testing is only a first approximation of an animal impact, but it was good enough for us to understand the mechanics of bullet expansion. We also understand that the petaling takes advantage of the rotational energy of the bullet, which is only achieved consistently with moderately ductile materials. [/QUOTE]
