[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 61347, member: 2852"] It is just a shame to me that you have to wound an animal until it convinces you that your magic x bullet is not the best choice. You won't trust pictures or fact from someone who has been there and done that at ranges farther than you've shot, therefore, I can only try to help people newer to our sport who don't have their minds in the "gotta see it fail before I believe it" mentality. So, I will post some pics in the next few days of a string of bullets that were fired at different impact velocities at the Barnes factory. This set of bullets were given to a friend of mine by his son-in-law who is a Barnes machinist. His job is to measure the bullets coming through, and test them for malfunctions. The bullet that hit water at 2400 fps petaled out to roughly the same size as the shank! In other words, a bloody full metal jacket! Oh, and in case your wondering, he gets free Barnes bullets and you know what--HE DOESN"T USE THEM ON HIS HUNTS!!! And my other friend who works there puts the grooves on the Triple shocks, and guess what, HE DOESN"T USE BARNES ON HIS GAME EITHER! That should tell you something. I only state this to save that poor white tail an agonizing FMJ death. I shoot a Reminton xp-100, and it is fun hitting stuff with it at 300 plus yards. Your last sentence is very true. Everyone in this game is on a different level in their shooting career, so that is why I am confused why you would argue with someone who has gone farther on game than yourself. I AM NOT bragging about my shooting capability, I am just simply stating that for my long range kills that I have made, Barnes would not have been the answer. Now, if someone who is on a level higher than me and has killed big game at farther than 1030 yards (my longest kill on big game) comes on here and tells me he did it with a Barnes bullet, than I would not argue with him! He has proven the method at a longer distance than me. But, alas, I have not seen that post yet. good shooting! [/QUOTE]
