[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2418348, member: 30902"] I've had a similar issue with the Barnes with a lack of Expansion. Hit a really big buck several years ago running straight away with the .375 and even though it ran the full length of the body entering just below the pelvis and exiting his chest he didn't crater for nearly 200 yards. This was a buck already wounded by someone else so he wasn't at his best either. Even with all that the exit wasn't much bigger than a quarter. The flip side of that is that they will survive extremely high velocity impacts which is why we shot them so much in the .17Rem and 220 Swift when hunting for hides without ruining the hides. On the plains our shots were usually long and on running critters so picking the perfect POI just wasn't a possibility. When saving hides with the least possible damage is the priority that's a big consideration. [/QUOTE]
