Cannot say any one aiming point... brown bear was twice through the heart broadside, once from each side. Bear made about 150 yards, dead bear running. At that point it twirled in place, absolutely painting a huge circle, then died and rolled another hundred yards.
A bear running 150 yards from a lung shot doesn't sound too good, sounds not too much different than what Model70Guy had happen. Barnes makes a good product but they aren't perfect all the time either.
Had some excellent results with the 358 200 gr TTSX this spring by the way but there seem to be way fewer problems reported with the bigger TTSX bullets.
I'm a big Accubond fan and have only recovered 2 so far but in general they expand really wide so it's not surprising they get caught in the hide on occasion. The bigger 358 and 375's I recovered really expanded wide and dropped game quick, so far all the 6.5's and 308's all have exited.
