[QUOTE="KEB0, post: 1256210, member: 91926"] JW, I've shot many critters in Alaska over 20 yrs with Barnes, from .223 up to .338's; they work. Have not shot em past 400 ish though. The performance and meat savings were amazing in the .22-250 for caribou. Did not shoot the .22-250 past 300 at bou. I even finished off a wounded moose with it, neck shot, lights out. In the 30 cals, (.308 and .06) nearly every one has passed through and out on moose, black, and brown bears. On moose, several of the .06 kills traveled nearly the entire length of the critter causing very quick death. Average distance: 40-180 yds. Early on I used the heavies, but settled on the 165's as the overall best. The Barnes will really shine in those situations where you have poor angles and need to bring home the meat. I have shot many critters right through the rear end or gut shot, with consistent results ("problem" brown bears at night for example) Good luck. Good hunting. kb [/QUOTE]
