I received this e-mail from Barnes this morning asking about recommended impact velocity
"The 190 gr Original was designed for very high weight retention for a lead core bullet. At a muzzle velocity of 1803 you may only see marginal expansion at closer ranges. It will provide extremely deep penetration. With that bullet for deer hunting I would try taking out both front shoulders and the heart. Due to the penetration if taking a direct chest shot it will penetrate most likely from end to end of a deer. If not then the bullet I recommend for that muzzle velocity is our 150 gr TSX FN (30-30) bullet. It only requires a minimum impact velocity of 1450 fps. Yet due to the 100 percent weight retention it will out penetrate any 170 gr lead core bullet. "
