All died within 30 yards with massive blood loss...

I'll just say I've not experienced the same results with Barnes...


That's interesting. I have not used E-tips or the GMX's but have had excellent results using the TTSX's but while penetration has always been excellent I will admit to a some times nagging doubt about very narrow wound channels especially at longer ranges. This is with the 140- and 150-gr 7mm TTSX's started at 3150 fps and 3000 fps respectively.
