I see no need to use cal's larger than 270 on hoofed game because of the utter dependability of modern mono's.
Yes, I agree with that completely.
But I have seen a few pics here & there of Barnes that have not expanded well & were oddly deformed, but I'm sure there are the exception. I think you need to drive them hard, hence somewhat lighter for caliber bullets work best.
Friend of mine (died before his time) was an outfitter in the U.S. & a PH in Africa & was a friend of Randy & Connie who owned Barnes, & he used a lot of Barnes bullets in Africa with really good success on all manner of plains game, buffs & lion.
There's no doubt they are great bullets; but just saying I've never had a failure with a Partition either, but they do not fully penetrate at the percentage rate that the mono's do, for sure.
