[QUOTE="stonehands1, post: 1063907, member: 88929"] This is absolutely correct. My rifle like solid bullets like Barnes ttsx. My experience with solids is that they have (for lack of a better term) a wider range of velocity tolerance than any of the bonded lead cores I've tried. At the higher velocities that my rifle shoots the lead cores really splash on impact at short range. I have not had that problem with the solids. Also I have never had a ttsx pass clean through at short range. My conclusion is that, with solids if the velocity is high enough ie.100-200 yards the velocity/energy is high enough to get the bullet to expand fast enough to not pass through. Maina you said you plan on shooting mostly 700 and beyond. I think any bullet (solid or lead core) will perform well at that range. I wonder if a 210 grain solid will expand enough at 100-200 yards to not pass through. Looking forward to your test results. [/QUOTE]
