alwaysoutdoors,
I'd be interested in the story on that one. I'm a fan of the 357 Magnum.

Haven't recovered one in years...might be because I'm more patient than when I was younger and almost never take a marginal shot. It has been pass through for years...

A couple of .30 cal 168 NBT's. From a .308 Win. Impact dist ~35 yds, impact speed ~2,675 fps. Recovered from a Sitka blacktail buck. Broadside - no bones hit. Was still standing after first shot, my son drilled him again for good measure.

That's the way to stack them up! Good work.

Unfortunately yes. It is still in the cartridge case where I left it. No opportunity for a shot, again.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

I'd say this 120 TTSX had picture perfect performance. 7mm08 at 60 yd off hand shot. 205 lb buck was facing nearly straight on, bullet entered at base of neck just inside right shoulder blade and lodged under skin on opposite side just in front of the last ribs. I also shot a doe thru the neck about 3 seconds later but no bullet was recovered.

Good looking buck. My compliments on the 7/08. It is one of my favorite cartridges for hunting deer.
I've used the Barnes TSX and TTSX on whitetails, in the 6mm and .277 diameters. Both worked well.
I'm still kind of surprised that there are so many Barnes bullets in this thread.

NICE! Cant believe you caught that bullet! I was surprised a little myself. This was only the 2nd time I've caught one out of 25ish deer. The other was a doe shot straight on in the chest at 175 yds and the bullet was lodged in her hind quarter about 1.5" from exiting.

1oz Barnes Expander HP out of my 12 Ga 870. Bullet fell out of the offside wound on this 12 pointer I took 2 days before T'day in CT. Range was approx. 100 yards

I'll be dipped. Another Barnes.
Regardless, that is a nice buck. Love those forky brow tines.

Thanks! The rack has a lot of character. Going to do a skull mount on this one.
The big expander bullets don't penetrate that well. I've got 3 or 4 others that I've recovered over the last 5-6 years. If I could find another bullet that flies as well out of my gun I'd definitely try them.

Caught this one in a mule deer. The bullet went in behind the last rib and was buried in the offside shoulder. 140 Nosler Partition, 320 ish yards, from a 256 Newton.
