I’ve shot countless head of game with Barnes bullets since starting with the 125 grain X out of a .30-06. No issues with “penciling” etc.
I’ve used or loaded for family and friends from the .222 Rem up to the .300 Win. Used on everything from Antelope to Elk plus the occasional varmint. They’re great bullets that work as advertised and the 130 out of an ‘06 will drop any deer that walks, at any sane distance.
