[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2731935, member: 2939"] I guess that I wasn't clear. I've had poor performance with the highest sectional density heavy for the caliber bullets. They seem to pass through with very little damage or expansion. They don't impart any energy. The Pigs and mule deer run off and die. Where lighter for the caliber X bullets leave massive exit wounds and DRT. As to Africa my friends and I used the 405 grain barnes X with great success on all plains game. With over 2 inch exit wounds. Using the 150 and 168 gr, TSX out of 308 magnums was lots of DRT. At a Safari international event the Barnes booth was really promoting the 450 grain .458's. So I bought a few hundred to load up and sadly the economy really fell apart in 2008 and it was the end. Bullet design is a big thing Sierra Game kings out of my 270's had a few run offs. I'm a fan of the 270 AI. [/QUOTE]
