[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 774158, member: 41442"] might raise some hackles here but here goes anyway. Have you ever tracked a deer shot with a copper bullet for hours because it didnt open up enough? I have a few times. Anymore i wont use a barnes or any other solid copper bullet unless im shooting at least a 30 cal gun. Ive had p## P### luck with 24 and 25 cal barnes bullets on deer sized game even with the 257 wby. I shot about 30 deer a couple years back using barnes in mostly the 2506 and 257wby and sure wasnt impressed. Maybe if i was going after something a bit bigger like elk or moose but in those cases id use at least a 7mm of some sorts and most likely a .30 cal. Nope its cup and core bullets for this guy. they may ruin a lb or two more meat but i dont eat deer ribs anyway. When i shoot a deer i want it dead! [/QUOTE]
