[QUOTE="Hunterjones, post: 2785256, member: 112130"] Those things make sense. The Barnes have surprised me a time or two in different ways. I made a bad first shot on a bull a number of years ago and second shot I had to take before he disappeared for a nightmarish tracking job so I shot while bull was moving away. From rear end, right hind quarter 360 yards. 168 TTSX at 2900 MV. Shattered hind quarter bone and passed through guts and vitals and found against hide inside chest cavity. Stumbled a few yards and fell DEAD. From the “lowly” 30-06. That impressed me. The same load from a friend’s rifle at around 2750MV, buck Antelope broadside under 200 yards DRT but bullet failed to pass through and we found it under hide on off side…….how on earth did the bullet not pass thru the Antelope ?? Odd [/QUOTE]
