[QUOTE="Nikolakangrga, post: 349615, member: 17854"] I do not know much about much when it comes to this type of stuff but I can share a story that happened to me. I was hunting hogs here in California with my T/C Pro Hunter .50 Muzzleloader. Had it loaded with 110gr of Blackhorn 209, and a 250gr Barnes Spitfire TMZ. I have had 100% performance with this setup and every animal I have shot at with this setup. I shot a 100lb sow at about 8 yards which was truly amazing. the force lifted this sow off her feet and she rolled down a hill. the shot was right behind the shoulder breaking 2 ribs on either side. This sow rolled 30 yards down hill and laid still. As my buddy and I celebrated the harvest, The sow gets up and begins trotting away. Mind you, not a run but a trot. We go down to where she laid to investigate and found NO BLOOD! We are shocked! We dont know what to think. 30 min later we begin to trail her and NO BLOOD what so ever. We followed her tracks for about 75 yards and found her dead. After further inspection inside the chest cavity, we found that the barnes 250gr spitfire TMZ DID NOT EXPAND! she has a perfectly clean hole all the way through her. Granted it was a .50 cal so the whole was decent size but no expansion. [/QUOTE]
