Barnes bullets ain’t about energy. They’re about penetration. Velocity rules.
Go 150. It will retain more weight and penetrate deeper than a 180 NPT at the same impact velocities, and really outperform it if it is impacting at higher velocity.
Your absolutely correct. The 150gr Barnes will kill two elk standing side by side. Their about penetration & tissue damage which is why my group kill elk every season with a 6.5 & the 120gr TSX. Complete penetration.
