[QUOTE="M Rosslee, post: 1193867, member: 94998"] I have noted a few gentlemen here having similar issues with the Barnes projectiles (please don't hang me for saying that) but they often fail to expand (see attached pic)... Expansion on heavy thin- skinned African game (BWB, zebra, eland, gemsbuck etc) is important due to their receptive resilience and energy absorption capabilities. I'm sure you've seen that here... A BWB bull sucks up bullet energy and converts it into stamina and speed :D Boar hogs are just as tough as our warthog and bush pig here! I know the frustration of a bullet not doing what it needs to when shooting the big pigs... I have had a few bullets change travel direction in large warthog bodies after initial bone impact instead of punching through.... [/QUOTE]
