[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 340674, member: 2736"] It is an odd fenomenon how some bullets act differently. I have had mixed results with the 30 cal Barnes (some expanded,some lost the petals and some didn't expand at all) hit in the same spot. And some that were heavy bone hits and didn't bring them down for several hundred yards. On the other hand the .416 Barnes are great and perform perfectly every time and other than severe copper fouling (Solved by molly coating) are my bullet of choice for the big bores. The swift A Frames are the other choice on dangerous game that need .375 or bigger bullets. I have used many other brands on 338 and down and "my" bullets of choice based on all round performance (Accuracy,terminal performance,consistant expansion at the recomended velocities, Wind bucking ability and minimum fouling are :225gr accubond, 250gr accubond,250gr partition, 250gr Swift A frame,225gr Hornady SST and the 225gr Barnes TSX. This is just on my experiences on game. BCs are important but not the only thing to consider. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
