I've never seen a barnes not expand enough. Others have.

It doesnt take much and even on full expansion they don't leave big exit holes which is perfect for me, much less meat damage and still very dead.

I've seen teh old X, which folks hated, expand out just past 800...from a 338 win mag started at about 2700 or so IIRC.

IMHO there are better choices at longer ranges, but the barnes has never let me down either, somethign I can't say about other brands.

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
