I've never seen a Barnes fail to penetrate. I have seen other bullets penetrate just as well, but not always. Barnes always penetrate, and I know absolutes freak people out, but I'd bet on a Barnes making it over anything else I've seen.
You guys that shoot animals that weigh less than you and go ga ga over the penetration of TSX's crack me up. Come on Scott.
Yeah, I know what you mean... Riley only weighs about 160 and uses 80gr TTSX for most stuff. He likes the penetration...
This moose actually caught one of those 80grainers...
Same caribou's heart at about 340 yards.
Some times he shoots heavier bullets, too.
I use them too, but I outweigh most of what I shoot, too.
Both of the last two brown bears had complete pass-throughs with TSXs, end-to-end.
Gee, did you think I was talking to you? And did I say somewhere that I don't like TSX's? I'm talking to people who shoot 150lb whitetails and are venomously adamant that you need a TSX or you might as well stay home.
